 Automake does not assume that scripts are derived objects; such objects
 must be deleted by hand (@pxref{Clean}).

-Since @code{automake} appears in the @code{AC_OUTPUT} macro, a target
-for it is automatically generated, and it is also automatically cleaned
-(despite the fact it's a script).
+Because---as we have just seen---scripts can be built, they are not
+distributed by default.  Scripts that should be distributed can be
+specified using a @code{dist_} prefix as in other primaries.  For
+instance the following @file{Makefile.am} declares that
+@file{my_script} should be distributed and installed in
+@code{$(sbindir)}.
+
+@example
+dist_sbin_SCRIPTS = my_script
