Which is entirely normal. `make distclean` is supposed to clean the tree 
for _distribution_, in other words, such that one can immediately rerun 
configure, and not have to use autoreconf first. And Makefile.in is 
something that is part of the standard distribution.

`make distclean` is deliberately not equal to `git clean -dfx`.
