I'd be glad to include this, but I'd be even happier if I could reproduce it
first :) Do you
have a minimal example that causes these files to be generated?

Ok, mmh, it looks like I have difficulties with reproducing it with the current
version of the Makefile since you removed the -z option from dvips since I last
updated this project. Yet, I still think these files should be removed since
they are
produced if TeX users change the dvips options or run dvips by hand.
The code of test.tex is below.
$ make test.dvi
(...)
$ dvips -z test.dvi

I can see that it would be annoying to have them around, so I'm looking for an
opinion,
now. How often would you guess this is going to bite someone? Are there
common use
cases for changing the dvips parameters manually to cause these files to be
generated?

These are temp file by nature (body.tmp and head.tmp). I think it cannot really
hurt
anybody to remove them, they're temporaries dammit :)
Now I don't remember how and when these files got generated in my directory but
I
swear that I didn't look for it to happen (typically I didn't run dvips -z), it
was
produced as a byproduct of something else either in the Makefile (earlier
versions)
or something like pdflatex.
Also, note that it is fairly common in other latex makefiles:

Marking bug verified. I'll upload a new version once another blocking issue
has been
addressed. Meanwhile, you can just use the revision referenced above :)
