Good question.  Stefan added them in:

commit 692c9d8fd96614175f499dbc97a927a97099b8dc

    Add auto-generated files we need for elpa.

Stefan, do you remember why?  I guess it's because our complicated build
procedure on our master branch where we have some .el.in and Makefile.in
files where version and date placeholders are being replaced.  So Stefan
added a new GNUMakefile to our externals/auctex branch which updates
committed files which are generated on the master branch.

It's possible that with ELPA as of today, some things could be handled
in a better way but IDK and, well, as long as it works...

Bye,
Tassilo
