That's very unusual, as these are standard autotools (autoconf) files.
Removing them from distribution would be difficult, as the distribution
tarballs are created by standard autotools mechanism "make dist".
So, if autotools authors decided to include these files in the standard
distribution tarball - who am I to argue? ;-)

And it should be fairly easy to just remove offending files in
debian/rules after unpacking the distribution tarball.

Thanks.

If I understand the explanation correctly, it's about converting
--enable-debug string to [hyphen][hyphen]enable[hyphen]debug by vanilla
build of groff. Which makes it fail when copy-pasting to shell, as shell
requires [minus][minus]...

So I think the correct fix would be replacing --enable-debug by
\-\-enable\-debug, not by \(hy\(hyenable\(hydebug as the latter would
still fail when copy-pasting.
