Quoting Peter Eisentraut <[email protected]>:

That would require people to run the clean rule after an unsuccessful build. I don't think that is normally required. I'm not sure what circumstances trigger this bug, though.

According to the dpkg-buildpackage manpage, and before building (in step 5):
3. If a specific target has been selected with the -T or --target option, it calls that target and stops here. Otherwise it calls fakeroot debian/rules clean to clean the build-tree (unless -nc is specified).

AFAIK, sbuild is using dpkg-buildpackage, so i guess we can count on the clean target being called before build with standard Debian tools.

I believe we should not limit CDBS to work only "with standard Debian tools". Non-standard use should work too, as long as it is compliant with Debian Policy.
