What I meant to say was that there is no byte-exact reproduction
steps.  There is a build procedure but the design goal of the build
procedure for the doc tarballs does not include byte-exact
reproduction at all, as the doc tarballs are not considered as
sources.  It's meant as a mere convenience for those who lack the
asciidoc(tor) toolchain, a semi-binary distribution.
