What are these .mod files exactly?  They are not generated by Automake,
AFAICS.

Generating stuff only when "make install" is issued seems counter-intuitive.
Why are you doing this exactly?

But Automake shouldn't clean scripts by default (as it is not unusual that
they are not generated).  Is it cleaning them for you?  That would be
a bug.

Then add a custom target to do so:

    clean-my-scripts:
        rm -f $(MY_SCRIPTS)
