New issue 1852 by percival.music.ca: manuals needs more explicit  
dependencies
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1852

The build system
  make doc
doesn't check if the files in a subdirectory have changed.  This leads to  
silly suggestions like
  touch Documentation/*.te??
to tell make to check them all.

AFAIK this can be fixed by explicitly listing dependencies inside  
directories like learning/ for learning.tely.  Or maybe using something  
like $(call-wildcard learning/*.itely)


ETA: 30 minutes if you're familiar with make and my suspicion is correct.   
This issue has a really good payoff-vs-effort ratio.
