Right... that is how distclean was implemented in aprutil. "extraclean" is the "return to the bare originals (e.g. cvs checkout)". I made the extra deletions explicit rather than relying on cvsclean and the .cvsignore files. Going the explicit route was quite fine (and much more understandable) since there are only about a half-dozen files produced by "buildconf.sh" that needed to be removed.
