The files are not specified in any variable with 'dist_' prefix. They are distributed because I wrote a dist-hook. Normally I would also add them to DISTCLEANFILES, but in this case I decided I prefer MAINTAINERCLEANFILES, which is why `make distclean` doesn't remove them and the error is generated by `make distcheck`.
