While I agree with you that too many "clean" targets are not that nice 
(did you see the "bigideclean" that Matthias wrote? ;) ), I can assure 
you that "distclean" is rather common among Unix projects.

For a possible explanation see here: 
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/what-is-the-difference-between-make-distclean-and-make-clean-284353/

The use in FPC for clean vs. distclean is the following:
* clean removes the generated files (*.ppu, *.a, *.o, etc.)
* distclean ALSO(!) removes the generated fpmake-$target files (they 
don't need to be compiled on each "make all")

Regards,
Sven
