Hi,

In source format 3.0, the option 'unapply-patches' (usually set in
debian/source/local-options) is used to indicate that patches are to be
unapplied after building the package. This is commongly used when the
package itself is maintained in a VCS that contains unpatched upstream
source and where you want to keep the tree unpatched even after a
package build.

Having 'debuild clean' and 'debclean' respecting this setting would
streamline the workflow with source format 1.0, where a 'debclean'
restores the source tree to a state that allows further VCS operations
such as investigating and committing changes easily.

Thanks for considering.
