The automake documentation doesn't agree with you.
http://www.gnu.org/s/hello/manual/automake/Clean.html

 * If configure built it, then distclean should delete it.
 * If the maintainer built it (for instance, a .info file), then
   maintainer-clean should delete it. However maintainer-clean should not
   delete anything that needs to exist in order to run ‘./configure && make’. 

The few i checked follow this convention.
