I think the intended difference is that in the first set of
instructions the final 'make test-clean' wipes out the test results so
that they may be ran once more "from scratch".  I the second place,
'make test-clean' is just cleaning after yourself for the sake of any
future testing (i.e. there's just no "final check made again from
scratch").

hope i got it right
