Hi folks,

debian/rules clean doesn't run dh_clean, which means that if you do a build and clean in a directory and then do a source build, your source package ends up with the debian/$package/ tmpdirs (the results of the last build) inside it, as well as some debhelper temp files. This makes my debdiffs look silly. Running dh_clean manually fixes this, as you'd expect.

It also clears out autom4te.cache, which seems to have ended up in some tarballs (like those in Ubuntu's quantal-updates, at least, which is what I'm running -- the _presence_ of autom4te.cache in Ubuntu's source tarballs makes my debdiffs look differently silly if I run dh_clean before building my source tarball).

Can you call dh_clean from debian/rules clean?

Thanks,
