[Debburn-devel] "debian/rules clean" does not clean completely

pusling on IRC suggested I forward this on to the list.  It appears
the clean target in debian/rules does not clean everything out, and
leaves some objects.  dpkg-source doesn't like this of course:

dpkg-source: unrepresentable changes to source
debuild: fatal error at line 1224:
dpkg-source -b cdrkit-1.0~pre3 failed

Steps to reproduce:
1. Run debuild
2. Run debuild again :)

Beside that, the package builds on both i386 and ppc.  Well, lintian
complains, but it builds.
