On a slightly related note, I noticed while preparing 3aff1d3fd that src/backend/utils/mb/Unicode/Makefile seems a little screwy. If you go into that directory and type "make distclean", you'll find it removes some files that are in git:
Since this is only used during update-unicode, whose purpose is to overwrite files in git, this might not be totally wrong.
Maybe the target names distclean and maintainer-clean are inappropriate, since they suggest some standard semantics. Maybe the current semantics are also not that useful, I'm not sure. I guess among the things you'd want are "delete all intermediate downloaded files", which seemingly none of these do.
