how do you define "makefile junk"? I've looked at the examples you gave above,
and there are several reasons for they being installed
a) in case of koffice: Makefile.am listed as part of the _DATA variable. ouch.
would be easy to detect, but its the only package affected, so its not
a very common problem
b) some install Makefile.am's to allow example applications to be built. the
corresponding configure is not included, so you can't actually regenerate
the Makefile.in/Makefile from the Makefile.am. if they work in the place
they're installed I haven't tested yet. do you consider those junk as well?
or only if they cannot be used where they're installed?
c) most packages install Makefile* because they copy over a whole
documentation directory
into the package, including the buildsystem. obviously that doesn't
make sense, so I would consider that junk as well.
so far I've added a check for c), and it triggers already on quite a lot of
packages.
