What is it with the dependency on config.status

I have seen user-induced lines in Makefile.am like these in a handful 
of packages:

        ${pkgconfig_DATA}: ${top_builddir}/config.status

Given that automake 1.11.1/autoconf 2.68 seem to automatically recreate 
files specified in AC_CONFIG_FILES when configure.ac is changed, what is 
the actual purpose/significance of this line?
