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?

I don't want to build a binary before checking, and I didn't suggest that. I
just wasn't talking about checking, which is well documented. I was talking
about building zips, which isn't.
