Cleaning directories is partially the responsibility of the makefiles
though - who else cleans the fpmake executables themselves?
Looking at comments in packages/Makefile.fpc, the issue is apparently
known.

# In case of a distclean, perform an 'old'-style distclean. This to
# avoid problems when the package is compiled using fpcmake prior to
# running this clean using fpmake. It does not work well, though, since
# the sub-directories are not cleaned at all.
