(missing) dependencies in Makefile

As I wrote - this is usually not a problem.
It also took me a long time to realy notice it at all 
(openssh-2.9p2 in 2001 and a lot of internal patches for every version
since that till now).

I stumbled into that trap when I added in/out counters to the channel
structure (changed channel.[ch])
and did a make without "make clear" first.

My question was just if there is a technical reason.
(reasons I see might be: compacter Makefile with less rules, easier to
maintain, 
little gain and a lot of work to add them)
