Still, this kind of errors are usually worrisome. In general, they mean
that doing a "build"/"clean" cycle does not bring the source tree back
in the same state as it was before starting the build. That might cause
errors such as the infamous "FTBFS when built twice in a row".


It won't, in that specific case. The goal was to remove those files before
staring the build. So, an FTBFS related to those files is unlikely to happen.

Note that this is not necessary anymore since Guillaume patched upstream's
Makefile to not use those files. Thus, keeping them in the tree doesn't harm
and seems to be the easiest solution.
