Stefan already posted the correct one, but to clarify why it runs with
the same "make dist ; make maintainer-clean", what's happening is that
dist creates a tarball, so by the time maintainer-clean runs, the files
have already been packed.

The derived files are created by distprep AFAIK.

BTW most of that script is just duplicating the stuff done in distdir ...
