We extract a tarball and make everything read-only. Sometimes an item in the distribution gets re-made. This can fail because of permissions. So, on platforms where this would happen, we'd like to remove the file first. I wasn't advocating to remove them from the distro, I understand we need to be kind to our crippled (cough vms:) brethren.
