I have not been able to find any documentation on these stamp-* targets,

They are entirely optional, in fact. It's a custom behavior to work around
issues with pseudo-phony targets which aren't declared as such for some
reason [1]. That's just one way (among many) to implement a debian/rules
file.
I can also suggest to use *-stamp: such files will be removed by dh_clean
automatically :-)
From what I can see, the stamp-* files seem to be removed automatically as well.
At least by 'debian/rules clean' from that package, which appears to simply run
'dh clean' as far as I can tell.
