Since this is only used during update-unicode, whose purpose is to
overwrite files in git, this might not be totally wrong.
Maybe the target names distclean and maintainer-clean are inappropriate,
since they suggest some standard semantics. Maybe the current semantics
are also not that useful, I'm not sure. I guess among the things you'd
want are "delete all intermediate downloaded files", which seemingly
none of these do.
