We should get rid of most of these fine-grained targets. They add silly
complexity. extraclean-swig-py vs extraclean-swig-pl. Really?!

How about just: extraclean.

Seriously. It is generally a bad idea to "extraclean" just a portion of the
tree. You could throw away outputs from gen-make, autoconf, or whatever.
Bad idea. The whole tree should go back to pristine all at once.

I would argue much the same for distclean targets.

The plain clean targets are arguable, as you may want to blast and rebuild
a subsystem. But who really uses them? They made a lot of sense a decade
ago when a complete build could take 30 minutes. But on modern hardware,
the granularity just doesn't make sense.
