Some of those are redundant (arxiv will complain if there are unused files, must commonly by accidentally adding the .bib file). My make arxiv target on papers usually just calls latexpand to cull comments and modifies all image includes to not be in a subdirectory (then prepares a tar file with the modified source and all figures).
