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 some
20 other files including debian/files, and any detritus left behind by other
21 debhelper commands. It also removes common files that should not appear in a
23 #*# *~ DEADJOE *.orig *.rej *.SUMS TAGS .deps/* *.P
25 It does not run "make clean" to clean up after the build process. Use
26 L<dh_auto_clean(1)> to do that.

34 Do not delete debian/files. When do you want to use this? Anytime you have a
35 debian/rules that has 2 binary targets that build different .deb packages;
36 for example, one target is binary-arch, and the other is binary-indep, or
37 one target builds the shared library, and the other the -dev package. If you
38 didn't use -k in these cases, then debian/files would be deleted in the
39 middle, and your changes file will only contain the last binary package that
42 =item B<-d>, B<--dirs-only>
44 Only clean the package build directories, do not clean up any other files
47 =item B<-X>I<item> B<--exclude=>I<item>
49 Exclude files that contain "item" anywhere in their filename from being
50 deleted, even if they would normally be deleted. You may use this option
51 multiple times to build up a list of things to exclude.
55 Delete these files too.
