Ok, so it seems I meant the ruby-setup-rb class, not the ruby-extconf-rb class.
What it does in the clean target is call: ruby setup.rb config,
this is chained to doing some extconf.rb configure voodoo if there is any.
If a build-dep is missing, the config fails and so does the clean
target, but it shouldn't!
The clean target should be somewhat 'best effort' and if it doesn't
configure it should call ruby setup.rb distclean regardless.

Thoughts? Esteban? :)
