This appears to stem from a conjunction of sloppiness on upstream's
part (shipping platform-specific generated files) and increased
strictness on Debian's.  AFAICT, you can work around it without having
to prepatch anything by specifying repexecdir via a command-line wildcard:

[ ! -f Makefile ] || /usr/bin/make distclean repexecdir=/usr/lib/rep/*-*
