hi David,

Depending on the TeX distribution that might be needed. We use TeTeX,
so if you use TexLive it seems to be required. There is already a
ticket to delete those files upon distribution of the sources.

./rebuild does run "sage -b", so if you are using that there is no
need to run it manually. Fixing LaTeX bugs in docstrings is usually
the fun part right at the end of a release cycle, so I haven't looked
into this for 3.0 yet. Feel free to fix it and submit a patch, I
promise that my feelings won't be hurt ;)
