-dh_auto_clean is a debhelper program that tries to automatically clean up
-after a package build. If there's a Makefile and it contains a "distclean",
-"realclean", or "clean" target, then this is done by running make (or MAKE,
-if the environment variable is set). If there is a setup.py or Build.PL, it
-is run to clean the package.
+B<dh_auto_clean> is a debhelper program that tries to automatically clean up
+after a package build. It does so by running the appropriate command for
+the build system it detects the package uses. For example, if there's a
+F<Makefile> and it contains a B<distclean>, B<realclean>, or B<clean> target,
+then this is done by running B<make> (or B<MAKE>, if the environment variable is
+set). If there is a F<setup.py> or F<Build.PL>, it is run to clean the package.
