    Shouldn't the period be moved from after "this" to after the closing
    parenthesis?

Yes.

    There isn't even consistency among the various -local targets in their
    ordering wrt. other targets.  In fact, I wouldn't even know how many of
    them are run at what time, so I'm a bit wary of the "typically"
    statement.

By all means, delete "typically" if you prefer.  I was just copying
(with rewording) from your mail :).

Thanks,
