Yup, its a bug. Here is the story now:
clean
all object files and compilied .py files
clobber
everything clean does plus executables, libraries, and
tag files
distclean:
everything clobber does plus makefiles, generated .c
files, configure files, Setup files, and lots of other
crud that make did not actually generate (core, *~,
*.orig, etc).
I'm not sure this matches what people expect these targets to do.
I expect that "make clean" will be less used now that the
makefile usually does the right thing.
I removed Makefile.in, Demo/Makefile, Grammar/Makefile.in,
Include/Makefile, Lib/Makefile, Misc/Makefile,
Modules/Makefile.pre.in, Objects/Makefile.in, Parser/Makefile.in,
and Python/Makefile.in as they are no longer used.
