...or something similar/equivalent. This could help make sure that unwanted build files are not included in the release archive.

This idea came about in relation to the discussion on #74; see #74 (comment) in particular.

This would require a little bit of care, since of course not all packages support it.

Actually I don't follow: normally you can only run make ANYTHING after autogen+configure were run.

Yes, true. I suppose this would only be useful when a package author attempts to make a release from a directory in which the package is already compiled. If that's not a use case that you want to support, then please feel free to close the issue 🙂
