Hmm, I don't really understand. Stuff from the orig.tar.gz shouldn't
leak into the diff.gz unless that stuff is being modified during the
build process or by the maintainer. Deleteing the stuff in the clean
rule will remove all changes from the diff.gz when dpkg-source
rebuilds the source package. Try setting DH_VERBOSE and or stat the
directory before and after the dh_clean call.
