No.

The file stored in the repository is really a template; it doesn't
change, (unless we explicitly edit it).  The generated .lzma, which we
push to FRS, is adjusted at make time, adding date stamps derived from
issue.log to the template.

We need to keep issue.log in the repository, so we all have a common
reference for the date stamps.  With that in place, we should be able to
reproduce the same generated state for common/package-list.xml.lzma,
(and its siblings, in mingw32/mingw32-package-list.xml.lzma, and
msys/msys-package-list.xml.lzma, which also carry date stamps).
