Yeah, I noticed that too. I'm not too sure about it, because some of
those files we do want shipped in source tarballs; and they are
definitely cleaned in the builddir by maintainer-clean. I didn't want
to get into the detail of what's the ultimate distclean charter; my
immediate problem was that "make -C doc maintainer-clean" was not
getting rid of the stamp files and thus I was getting bit by the problem
that openjade was running all the time, even after I maintainer-cleaned.
By Peter's recent decree that tarballs are supposed to be built in
non-vpath-builds only, I am not really sure what should actually happen
here, both on build and on the various clean targets.

I agree, it probably merits more investigation.
