SYNOPSIS
dh_clean [debhelper options] [-k] [-d] [-Xitem] [path ...]DESCRIPTION
dh_clean is a debhelper program that is responsible for cleaning up after a package is built. It removes the package build directories, and removes some other files including debian/files, and any detritus left behind by other debhelper commands. It also removes common files that should not appear in a Debian diff:#*# *~ DEADJOE *.orig *.rej *.SUMS TAGS .deps/* *.P *-stamp
It does not run ``make clean'' to clean up after the build process. Use dh_auto_clean(1) to do things like that.
dh_clean should be the last debhelper command run in the clean target in debian/rules.
