Here is what upstream says (so far):

23:22 < torbenh3> adi: hmmm... at least there is no reason to do that. i dont 
                  know what happened there. but we need to ask paul. he 
                  generates the tarballs. 
23:24 < torbenh3> adi: imo a tarball needs to be generated by make dist ... and 
                  its not necessary to run ditstclean on them. but maybe the 
                  Makefiles are a bit broken. 
23:26 < torbenh3> adi: i dont want to look at this right now. maybe you guys 
                  can look into the problem and fix the Makefiles ? i will 
                  happyly apply a fix for this. gonna look into this, when i am 
                  able to compile jack2 under windows :D


Sounds good to me. Can we come up with a patch? Which files are
affected?


Cheerio
