Adding explicit dependencies like this is the right way to handle 
things.  The dependency would already be there for tarballs where all 
the automaticly calculated dependencies have been expanded, but won't be 
there for a clean checkout from CVS.  Adding a rule like the above does 
no harm, and makes things more convenient for people getting it from CVS.

A number of other modules do this for generated files.
