The ‘gnulib’ package also uses ‘git-fetch’, so we’d at least need to get
rid of it.
More importantly, tarballs generated by GitLab & co. are usually built
on the fly and change over time (details about the tarball headers
etc. may change). So we cannot depend them.
A tarball produced with ‘make dist’ will have everything we need,
including Gnulib.
