I have made the debian/rules clean target remove these files for now.

It might need them in other circunstances, so don't hold your breath." metacity-setup doesn't seem to use these at all, so I will hold my breath for the time being lest anyone tells me I'm breaching policy. I've updated the 0.6.1-2 .debs on my site (http://www.wienand.org/debian/metacity-setup).
