Even so it's not required so as long as the Makefile is coded
accordingly.
It is semantically correct and would not be wrong to put it in.
It got me thinking about the existing modules including generated man
pages,
so I tested it out.

So far the strategy is to code the Makefile so the dist part of it is
not subject
to the configure option. That's why at dist time the makefile deps make
it such
that it attempts to build the docs using the missing tool and the build
dies.

The advantage of this strategy is that you don't have to analyze each
makefile
and figure out what options to put in the distcheck flags. It may be
obvious
for doc targets but there are other types much more complex.
