I am sure we already "fixed" this in the past.  Did the fix get lost 
with some of that re-factoring that happened with handling 
install/changelog files?

As background, there was a big discussion a couple of years back about 
whether we should support the inclusion of install files (changelog was 
different then) in the source array.  The majority opinion (of which I 
was not part...) then was to do so.  So even though this patch goes with 
my line of thinking about the handling of install files, I think we 
should fix the actual issue and not pack the same file twice.
