To prevent any similar confusion in the future can you add a small comment above the target making it clear why it's there, and that it's intentional.
No problem. Should I also add it to the rest of the Makefile.am files where it occurs? |

Yes, please do I think a one line comment would be helpful. |

Looks good, I'd just suggest a small change to the phrasing.
The double-colon looked like a typo, but it's actually an obscure feature. Rules with :: may appear multiple times and are run independently of one another in the order they appear. The use of :: for distclean-local was conventional, not accidental. Add comments to indicate the intentional use of double-colon rules.
