Bug#728198: devscripts: debuild (& others) must reject debian/rules actions on unpatched source trees

Package: devscripts
Version: 2.13.4
Severity: important
It does not make sense to build or clean an unpatched source tree, since the
applied patches are considered strictly *part of the source package*. However,
`debuild build/clean`, and probably many other tools, still allows this to
happen without any warning.
This is partly a fault of policy which is very loose on what is a correct state
to initiate build actions from; I will file a separate bug for that too.
