I considered that, part of a 'make dist'-kind of rule.  But
there is the tarballs generated by github which do a simple
git-archive. I don't think we can change them to run a custom command.

We fetch our sources from https://brick.kernel.dk.  That seems to be
generated by the create-archive rule, which we could patch.

If github tarballs differing from Jens' server are not a problem, and
you can use that server, I'm happy make it build through the
create-archive rule.  Should solve the problem.
