make distclean and make dep??

When I do a "make distclean" in a tree, should not that roll it back to a
clean empty tree? I noticed that when I did that no work was done by "make
dep" in the rebuild.

Distclean is supposed to be even cleaner than mrproper (to build a clean
tree for distribution) and this behaviour is new.

Also noted, somewhere between 2.5.45 and 2.5.46 distclean vanished from
"make help." It's really useful to have distclean work to build patched
kernels for distribution, hopefully this is an oversight and not a new
policy.

Obviously I can delete modversions.h by hand.
