This occurs intentionally; these files get automatically generated from
XML descriptions of the X Window System protocol contained in the
xcb-proto package.  XCB ships the files generated, but a clean will
remove them and a rebuild should regenerate them.

That said, perhaps we should treat those source files like automake and
autoconf output, assume that an end-user compiling the software might
not have xsltproc, and move the removal of those source files to "make
maintainer-clean".
