Hi again,
Please discard my previous message. I muddled it up.
(It turns out that "distcheck" lets you leave one file installed,
but will complain if you leave two or more). Here is the correct
bug report.
I used the install-data-hook to install some extra stuff. Then "make
distcheck" complains that there are "files left after uninstall". So
I added an "uninstall-hook" to remove them, but the uninstall hook is
never executed.
Here's an example Makefile.am fragment. A complete example is attached.
I discovered that I can use "uninstall-local" rather than the hook,
and it works.

install-data-hook:
touch $(DESTDIR)$(pkgdatadir)/bar1
touch $(DESTDIR)$(pkgdatadir)/bar2
uninstall-hook:
rm -f $(DESTDIR)$(pkgdatadir)/bar?
