Sorry, you're right, it was proposed to do so out of make-dist,
but it was the same idea.

Yes, I do. I do build a package from within the unpacked tarball,
and when I do many attempts, make bootstrap and make maintainer-clean
are run on the same tree many times: not to have to unpack the same
tree at every attempt is handy.

Indeed.
