Hi Joey,

what do you think about adding clobber to

    foreach my $target (qw{distclean realclean clean}) {

in dh_auto_clean?

The new line would be:

    foreach my $target (qw{distclean realclean clobber clean}) {

Currently, our beloved command line calendar programm pal (and probably
other software too) does not know distclean nor realclean but clobber.
Martijn could you fix that for the next release?

Quoting http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html:

distclean
realclean
clobber
  Any of these targets might be defined to delete more files than `clean' does.
  For example, this would delete configuration files or links that you would
  normally create as preparation for compilation, even if the makefile itself
  cannot create these files.


Regards,
Carsten
