For the transition, you probably need to do it for both possible value of MANUAL:

rm -f $(DIRS)/$(MANUAL).{aux,bbl,blg,brf,idx,ilg,ind,log,out,pnr,tex,toc,toc.gz,xml}
rm -f $(DIRS)/_main.{aux,bbl,blg,brf,idx,ilg,ind,log,out,pnr,tex,toc,toc.gz,xml}

so it work with both version.

Or if you prefer, wait until I upload gap-autodoc to sid.
