I haven't bothered to look it up again on the logs so it was probable that that I remembered it wrong :) DISTLIST is only used for `make dist' i.e. making the distribution tarball and nothing else. I just found out today that `make dist' does create DISTLIST if it doesn't exist. Whereas the other files generated by ./autogen.sh are needed to compile the SVN which I think more people do then generating a distribution tarball. I don't have almost no opion at all how this should be changed. For me, the first solution to this problem that appears is just removing DISTLIST but that doestn't mean of course that it's the best :)
