I did the release only once so far, so Petri should be the one to
elaborate, but IIRC we use some .sh script that creates distributable
just using meson. The autotools way of releasing is not intended to
be ever used again.

If that's the case we can get rid of make dist/distcheck.

And yep, we can add testing for the "meson way" of building release
packages.
