Aside from the licensing question, IMHO, the tar.xz should always contain all the files we have in GIT, plus whatever auto-generated files we decide are needed. If nothing else that gives users clear visibility into what generated the auto-generated files, even if they don't need to re-run that auto-generation process themselves.
