This is be design, so that users that patch and redistribute squid don't
need to regenerate the release notes.

Will do.

Ah, I was thinking that on squid-cache.org we'd tweak the autobuild
script. 6 of 1 though.

make dist must not know how to make the release notes - or it will try
to rebuild them at make dist time (when the DAG requires it). And that's
something we don't want AFAIK.
