According to the code (see parse_arguments), you should pass the same
text in both cases.
I don't think we've ever defined what it would mean to write
`Makefile:foo:Makefile.in'. Automake accepts this, but I don't recall
what meaning it is given. I imagine all but one of the input files
are ignored.
