What is the purpose of distclean anyway ?
These are conventional GNU cleaning targets that apply to virtually
all
software that is built from source.
The various cleaning targets are specified here:
http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Clean.html
The exact names of the targets are not so important as what they do
(or
supposed to do).

IMHO, these are just NOT needed with a cmake project. make disclean
and the others are needed because autotools sprinkles all sorts of
files within your source directory so you need a bit more information
to get rid of all that. CMake, when properly used with a discrete
build directory, is extremely easy to clean. Just remove the contents
of the build directory. 'rm -rf build' if you are on the command line.
If you are NOT using a dedicated build directory please start. Your
life will be easier in the end.
These are just my <strong>opinions</strong>
