But that can be simplified to

if PROGRAMS
bin_PROGRAMS = $(jpeg_programs)
dist_man1_MANS = $(man_mans)
endif

without losing functionality (as long as $(jpeg_programs) expands to a
literal list of programs, no @substs@).  The Makefile.in files are even
identical, apart from the two lines you changed.  What am I missing?
