Re: makefile dist target?

I am thinking of putting out a new bug-fix release using the new build system.

Following the instructions:

mkdir build
cd build; ../configure && make
[...]
make dist 
[....]

  dies with the following error.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
if test -f ../../po/ChangeLog; then dists="$dists ChangeLog"; fi; \
if test -f ../../po/LINGUAS; then dists="$dists LINGUAS"; fi; \
for file in $dists; do \
  if test -f $file; then \
    cp -p $file ../zinf-2.2.4/po; \
  else \
    cp -p ../../po/$file ../zinf-2.2.4/po; \
  fi; \
done

I noticed that this files is part of the EXTRA_DIST but is not in the original Makefile.am?
Is it needed or should I just remove it?
