 =head1 DESCRIPTION
 
-dh_prep is a debhelper program that performs some file cleanups in
-preparation for building a package. (This is what dh_clean -k used to do.)
-It removes the package build directories, debian/tmp, and some temp files
-that are generated during the build. Putting this at the start of the build
-process makes the build process idempotent.
