I object!  I mean this should be discussed at least.  I would really
prefer to keep (and document) 'uncompressed-file-fetch' and not to
update emacs-build-system for this case.  It is possible, that once
we'll need to handle non-compressed files for another build system.  So
it should also be adjusted in the same way.  But if we keep
'uncompressed-file-fetch', it will be a general decision as it can be
used for any build system.
