autogen.sh is only useful for developers, not users, and we expect developers to have a git checkout handy, so there's no point in shipping the script in release tarballs.
I'm worried this breaks the GPL. autogen.sh is our preferred way for rebuilding autotools in preparation for a release, and thus I think the script belongs in a tarball even if it is not expected to be used by the end user.
Aside from the licensing question, IMHO, the tar.xz should always contain all the files we have in GIT, plus whatever auto-generated files we decide are needed. If nothing else that gives users clear visibility into what generated the auto-generated files, even if they don't need to re-run that auto-generation process themselves.
