5 dh_clean - clean up package build directories

14 dh_clean [debhelper options] [-k] [-d] [file ...] [-Xitem]
18 dh_clean is a debhelper program that is responsible for cleaning up after a
19 package is built. It removes the package build directories, and removes
21 other files, such as debian/substvars, debian/files, and any detritus left
22 behind by other debhelper commands. It also removes common files that
23 should not appear in a debian diff:
24 #*# *~ DEADJOE *.orig *.rej *.SUMS TAGS core .deps/* *.P
30 =item B<-k>, B<--keep>
32 Do not delete debian/files. When do you want to use this? Anytime you have a
33 debian/rules that has 2 binary targets that build different .deb packages;
34 for example, one target is binary-arch, and the other is binary-indep, or
35 one target builds the shared library, and the other the -dev package. If you
36 didn't use -k in these cases, then debian/files would be deleted in the
37 middle, and your changes file will only contain the last binary package that
40 =item B<-d>, B<--dirs-only>
42 Only clean the package build directories, do not clean up any other files
45 =item B<-X>I<item> B<--exclude=>I<item>
47 Exclude files that contain "item" anywhere in their filename from being
48 deleted, even if they would normally be deleted. You may use this option
49 multiple times to build up a list of things to exclude.
53 Delete these files too.
