If we distributed a single tarball, that would be easy, because GitHub creates one for us and adds it to the list of release assets.  The gz compressed file generated by GitHub is 108M. 

However, as a distro packager, I prefer having the separate tarballs because that's what we use for building packages on Fedora and RHEL.

@mgorny, @sylvestre.ledru  Do you have any thoughts about this?
