I just ran `make distclean' with latest bzr revision and noticed
it runs ./configure before cleaning up the dist files.
Is it necessary?
In GNU Emacs 24.2.50.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.24.10)
of 2012-09-10 on myhost
Bzr revision: 109965 cyd@gnu.org-20120910032510-vrblnwlfnsb0cx3s
Windowing system distributor `The X.Org Foundation', version 11.0.11201000

It can be, yes. IIUC:
Makefile itself has dependencies on eg the various Makefile.in's.
If these get updated in the repository, configure has to be run to
regenerate the Makefiles before doing anything else. For example,
suppose there was a bug in Makefile.in whereby distclean did `rm -rf /'.
If a fix was checked in, you'd want Makefile to be regenerated before
doing anything else...
