After running "debian/rules build" as an unprivileged user, there is no reason to require (fake) root privileges to clean up. Even when cleaning up after "sudo debian/rules install", at worst the clean target would error out because unable to remove a file in a directory owned by root and the operator will know to run "debian/rules clean" as root to fix it.
