This is only the case if the debian patches aren't applied; we apply
debian/patches/0009-Drop-all-unused-extended-version-handling.patch to
remove all the git parsing from the tools/read-version command.  So I'm
not sure this is actually a bug.  Is there anywhere that we actually
depend on the ability to run 'debian/rules clean' on an unpatched source
tree?

As an alternative, we could defer to the upstream Makefile's 'clean'
target and skip the pybuild clean process.
