23 dh_clean is a debhelper program that is responsible for
24 cleaning up after a package is built. It removes the package
25 build directories, and removes some other files, such as
26 debian/substvars, debian/files, and any detritus left behind
27 by other debhelper commands (debian/*.debhelper). It also
28 removes common files that should not appear in a debian

37 Do not delete debian/files. When do you want to use this?
38 Anytime you have a debian/rules that has 2 binary targets
39 that build different .deb packages; for example, one target
40 is binary-arch, and the other is binary-indep, or one target
41 builds the shared library, and the other the -dev package.
42 If you didn't use -k in these cases, then debian/files would
43 be deleted in the middle, and your changes file will only
44 contain the last binary package that was built.

58 Exclude files that contain ``item'' anywhere in their
59 filename from being deleted, even if they would normally be
60 deleted. You may use this option multiple times to build up
