Almost. What I mean is "Makefile", "configure", etc, everything
which is left when you have run the ./buildconf, configure, make,
make clean.
For the current release this gave me too many /gnu/store/… lines,
last release was better. I'm still trying to get away from the
manual release plan I was given by the person who did the
releases before me.

This depends on how your make dist is written doesn't it?
make dist is currently not completely functional here (or I need to
investigate if the failures are actually false ones) and the
"maketgz" script breaks because some binaries are not at /bin/*
and needs to be adjusted to gnurl needs as far as I know. So far
it was very manual what I did.
