I understand the idea of stopping the build if the clean target fails is
a good one, but I believe that you have not considered the reality that
a lot of upstream clean targets fail.

I'll have to have a closer look at why some fail, it could be just the
absence of a Makefile which should be easy to check.  Some upstream
Makefiles probably need to be fixed in any case.

This change won't make it into the next release of dh-make, it is a
significant change in its behaviour, but I'll look into it for the next
one.
