When I invoke
make distclean
in a repository clone, I expect to get a completely clean tree, so
that next recompilation doesn't use any leftovers of previous one.
However, .elc files are not deleted and it is easy to forget that you
have to delete them manually if you are not recompiling Emacs on a
daily basis.
This, in particular, led to a "bug" report:
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=6107

The .elc files are included in release tar-files, so it is
inappropriate for distclean to remove them.
Unless CPU time is a constraint, I recommend maintainer-clean with VCS
checkouts. Or use `make bootstrap', as suggested in INSTALL.BZR.

If you mean a Bazaar clone, you can use
bzr clean-tree --unknown --ignored --detritus
which should leave only the pristine tree (and .bzr metadata, of
course). I have such an alias
bzr alias extraclean="clean-tree --unknown --ignored --detritus"
and invoke it as "bzr extraclean --force".
Of course, after that you'll have to configure & bootstrap.
