make distclean will remove the generated html files.

If what you suspect is correct, someone else will have the same problem
with the new list in EXTRA_DIST. There is no guarantee that the list of
generated files will remain the same over time. I have been advocating
not to include these generated files in the tarball. I have not seen
evidence that any distro is missing doxygen to build these files. The
time and effort spent to maintain this is disproportionate with the
benefits (I suspect none) it brings.
