Okay, then what would be your preferred solution that would close this bug? That the clean target needs to be executed is nothing special for sbuild. The pdebuild utility from pbuilder also runs debian/rules clean first so that it can generate a source package. How would a resolution to this bug look like from your point of view? Thanks! cheers, josch
