Thanks for the clarification.  To be 100% correct, each of the created 
dist files should be verified to see that its content passes the 
distcheck tests.  Of course that would take a long time.  Since the 
lzma tools are still very new, my level of confidence is not very high 
yet (not that I have found any cause for concern) but I assume that 
confidence will grow over time.
