Maybe I completely misunderstand the issue at hand: are we talking
about files in the build directory or in the install directory?
("make clean" is relevant to the former, not the latter.)

If Peter and you are talking about the build directory, then the
previous DOC should probably be removed, but do we really want the
build number NOT to be incremented anyway?
