This has been a source of quite a lot of errors recently indeed; I haven't yet seen one that was due to not cleaning the package (I only use it with already clean built trees or already built trees). However, dpkg-buildpackage also defines env vars like $DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH these days, which some packages use but don't define. Granted, this is a bug in debian/rules and we have fixed a number of them, but these days I really consider dpkg-buildpackage as the primary interface to building binaries. Therefore I fully agree to replacing "debian/rules build" with "dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -b", to do the same thing as our buildds. Ian, what do you think about that?
