No. Without the Automake option `dist-lzma' enabled, a rule named
`dist-lzma' exists, but there is nothing depending on it, and lzma is
not used in the `dist' rule.
If the Automake option `dist-lzma' is enabled, the `dist' rule (and thus
also the `distcheck' rule) will require successful lzma tarball
creation. The rationale here is of course: if the package maintainer is
actually doing the distribution, then heck, it should fail if the needed
files aren't built.
This is perfectly symmetric with dist-bzip2 and all the other dist-foo
options Automake has.
Cheers,
Ralf
