The principal point I was making is that "the manuals" are not very informative on the actual build step for a zipped binary and I can see why many find it hard to find the guidance they need. If there is a recommended practice - for example, what you've just said - why not include it in the manual intended to help package developers? > Why do you want to build a binary before checking?

I just wasn't talking about checking, which is well documented. I was talking about building zips, which isn't.
