That would be okay but this will be complicated. Specifically, because test-depends are somewhat outside of the normal depends, and clean=depends uses all-dir-depends, which does not have test-depends. and all-dir-depends shouldn't get test depends because of the way it's generally used. So this means more variables and more targets... The other issue is: what semantics. make clean=depends will clean build/run depends recursively if you include test-depends, you might clean up a lot of things... specifically because test-depends are *outside* the normal build. So, what recursive semantics do you want for test depends ?... probably none ?
