I was not aware that

    git clean -fd
    git checkout

could replace a

    make debian/rules clean

So if you prefer this I'm perfectly fine if you would revert my change
above.  It would be good if this could be documented somewhere to be at
hand if I might forget this again. :-)

Kind regards

      Andreas.
