I would greatly appreciate if your commit messages could include
some sentences including answers to 'why?'. This is because in
a couple of years I will be able to figure out what was done but
I might not be able to fully understand why and what has been
fixed.

There are two issues with the change:

  * make dist/make distcheck is failing because for lightning
    Makefile.frag is inside the EXTRA_DIST
  * The generated Makefile.frag now have no files (e.g. broken
    dependency tracking). The issue is we need to have a GST_PACKAGE
    before we can build these files and this depedency does not
    appear to be in the rule that creates the Makefile.frag.


please update your patch
