If we think a binary package should contain stuff in our source tree, we
should install it as part of "make install". It's silly to expect
binary packages to ship more than that.

(I would go further, and say that if we don't install something as part
of "make install", we shouldn't ship it in the source tarball, and it
shouldn't be part of our main repository. But other developers would
probably find that extreme.)
