IMO it would be better to just do it in lisp and simplify the call to
`tar'.

I consider useless files to be actively harmful. Some users will
investigate what those apparently useless files are for and once they
have seen that they are in fact useless some of them still won't be
satisfied and continue to wonder what they have missed because obviously
nobody would include such useless files... I am like that and would
like to save others (plural) from having to do the same work over and
over again when I can just do it for them once.
