No, we have to generate our own because of the following files being
included:

README.md \
.dir-locals.el \
.editorconfig \
.vimrc \
.ycm_extra_conf.py \
.travis.yml \
.mailmap

Also, the raw upstream tarball does not come with any documentation
(including man pages). We have to generate those as well.
