 This is true, unfortunately, but it's hard to fault people for making them as they are trying to be helpful.  
I have been doing the precompiled versions and I don't include the build directory as that actually takes place in a separate area on my build machine.  I package it the way I do because it includes a bunch of the things that you need to get started from a working server.  I figure folks just pull out the things that they want and ignore the rest if they don't need it.  I do also update the conf files when I put one of these out.  I try to do them about once a month depending on the code changes.
