Along a similar vein as my recent comments, aren't GARBAGE_DIRS and friends almost always associated with rules in Makefile.in files? If so, I argue we shouldn't do this.

If we do not migrate them content lingers in Makefile.in preventing them from being removed.  Logic can still be reworked, deprecated, whatever later on but let's get drive the Makefile.in count to 0 then work on the longer term answers.
