Perhaps we can consider our existing packages as a precedent. Many
packages include files in their source distribution that were
auto-generated by the Autotools. For example, consider the "configure"
script that Autoconf generates. Is there a significant difference
between the "configure" script and the "pre-generated non-source files"
you're talking about?
