You are right, the GPL includes that passage; however, it speaks
about the LGPL as about a completely different license, and it's
written after the end of terms and conditions.

I think you can't find any provisions requiring that a copy
of the LGPL be included in a source tarball because it's a set
of additional permissions, and GPLv3 Section 7 explicitly says,
"[w]hen you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
remove any additional permissions from that copy."

What do you think?

Excellent.  Have you added copyright and license notices to every
such file in your tarball?
