10
12 dh_auto_clean is a debhelper program that tries to automatically clean
13 up after a package build. It does so by running the appropriate command
14 for the build system it detects the package uses. For example, if
15 there's a Makefile and it contains a distclean, realclean, or clean
16 target, then this is done by running make (or MAKE, if the environment
17 variable is set). If there is a setup.py or Build.PL, it is run to
18 clean the package.
19
20 This is intended to work for about 90% of packages. If it doesn't work,
21 or tries to use the wrong clean target, you're encouraged to skip using
22 dh_auto_clean at all, and just run make clean manually.

25 See "BUILD SYSTEM OPTIONS" in debhelper(7) for a list of common build
26 system selection and control options.
