No, you're right. If "EXTRA_DIST += ..." is the only occurrence in
that Makefile.am, that's wrong. A massive addition to all the trees
was made to support generating the ChangeLog, and part of it was this:

EXTRA_DIST += ChangeLog

If you could find all the modules that have this issue, that'd be
great. Most likely, it just requires changing those lines to
"EXTRA_DIST = ChangeLog" in the top level Makefile.am if there's no
other occurrence of EXTRA_DIST.
