The other thing that came up previously is distributions that have a policy of not allowing binary files. If I'm not mistake then they are deleted by downstream patches, which in this case would lead to a test failure.
Debian and Fedora are concerned with binary files which have closed source files. These are stripped when noticed. There is no indiscriminate deletion of binary files during the packaging process.
The Debian packaging tools had a problem with shipping binary data in local changes, but that's history now.
