No, distclean means "clean the directories in preparation of a release."
For example, the one for rsync does
distclean: clean
rm -f config.h config.cache config.status Makefile
I have seen "reallyclean" used as a target to remove all generated
files, but it isn't a standard either. extraclean seems fine.
