Sure. But keep on mind that distclean is target to make it with less generated files as possible but on the same state of the distribution tarball. It's not target to remove the m4 macros neither the configure script for example.
I just downloaded the Parted 1.8.2 tarball and ran a $ ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make && make distclean on the latest Git snapshot. I found that the content of both directories are not the same. The distribution tarball had lesser number of files than the one I obtained after running 'make distclean' on the Git snapshot. Here are some of the files that were extra in the development version: a. autogen.sh b. autom4te.cache/ c. ChangeLog.0 d. libparted/ChangeLog.0 e. parted/ChangeLog.0 f. m4/ ... Now some of these, like ./autogen.sh, are not part of the tarball but are in the Git tree because they are needed to generate certain components of it. So it is understandable make distclean did not remove them. What about things like 'm4/'? It is neither a part of the distribution tarball nor is it part of the Git tree.
