Thank you for the information, I didn't know that (or I forgot it).  I 
guess It's time for me to re-read the Automake documentation.

Mmhhh... technically, you are right on this point too (as can be seen 
by reading any Automake-generated makefile), but I couldn't find 
anything about this "feature" in the manual...  Are you sure that
wildcards in EXTRA_DIST are supported "by design" rather than as
a side-effect of implementation details? In the last case, it could be
a bad idea to exploit that "feature".
