Subject: [PATCH] maint: avoid "make distcheck" failure due to excess .deps
 directories

* Makefile.am (my-distcheck): Remove all .deps directories before
recursive diff search for left-behind files.  Otherwise, with
automake master (v1.15-165-g5fac9a3), "make distcheck" would fail
due to those directories being left behind after "make clean".
