Instead of removing things by hand, why not use a simple "make clean"?
If that does not clean enough (probably a bug upstream), then you
can remove other things explicitly.
By the way, the files in question are "config.cache", "config.log",
and "config.status". Have a careful look at the lintian "E" line
you quoted above.
