Package: devscripts Version: 2.11.7 Severity: normal I have a package that needs a patch for the configure.ac (upstream uses a patched automake); see the appended sample package.
When I run (as recommended in [1]) debuild debuild clean I get [...] configure.ac:2: require Automake 1.8.4-starlink, but have 1.11.3 make[1]: *** [Makefile.in] Fehler 1 This is because debuild finally reverses the applied patches, and "debuild clean" does not re-apply them. So, after running debuild, the user is left with a directory tree that is not cleanable anymore. debuild should either automatically call dh_clean, or "debuild clean" should apply the patches before actually doing the cleanup.
