Per the manual (standards.info, not autoconf.info):
`maintainer-clean'
Delete almost everything that can be reconstructed with this
Makefile. This typically includes everything deleted by
`distclean', plus more: C source files produced by Bison, tags
tables, Info files, and so on.
The reason we say "almost everything" is that running the command
`make maintainer-clean' should not delete `configure' even if
`configure' can be remade using a rule in the Makefile. More
generally, `make maintainer-clean' should not delete anything that
needs to exist in order to run `configure' and then begin to build
the program. Also, there is no need to delete parent directories
that were created with `mkdir -p', since they could have existed
anyway. These are the only exceptions; `maintainer-clean' should
delete everything else that can be rebuilt.
