I cannot speak for other distributions, but it is Fedora policy to never
modify an upstream tarball unless it is required to remove files that cannot
be legally redistributed for some reason (e.g. patents). This includes
recompression. The reason for that policy is that recompressing makes it
harder to compare file checksums.
