[task #15392] Cleaner distribution tarball for arXiv (LaTeX package source)

[Boud Roukema]

Follow-up Comment #1, task #15392 (project reproduce):

Part of the solution to this is


latexpand --expand-bbl paper.bbl $$p/paper.tex | \
  sed -e 's/\\bibliographystyle[^ }]*}//' > paper-full.tex


and adding _latexpand_ to the list of texlive packages.
This way, ArXiv or the journal do not have to know anything
about biber/bibtex/latex or .bib files. This does require the
authors to choose a style that is reasonably close to the
journal's requested style, which is advisable in any case.

I think I posted a proposed branch to maneage with this plus
a few more steps, but I've lost track of where :P. 
In any case, I can propose a new branch later, which
will probably be better anyway, since it will be better 
tested.
