    Looks like but I still have problems with the build process as directory
    contents are not copied to the destinations.

Sorry my understanding from a source package is just source nothing built or
pre-compiled interim product. So source = text files + icons. Yours don't
count as source for me.

    Yes but my source package is 16 MB with xz compression and circa 21 MB
    when I package it as tgz. Surely they are smaller than your packages.

    That also means in the future I would expect a source only package to be
    available just like it is currently for the 5.3.5 release.
