Tarballs are missing files

[Vogtinator]

I did this

I cherry-picked ed09a99 to 8.6.0 to apply it to the tarball during build.

However, it fails to apply because various files are missing in the tarball:

Indeed, they are missing:

I guess they are not part of the make dist target.

I expected the following

No response

curl/libcurl version

8.6.0

operating system
