Git-BuildPackage should assemble the package source as an overlay (when
“overlay” is specified), *before* calling ‘debuild -S’ or ‘debian/rules
clean’ or anything else which requires the source assembled in that
directory.

For the benefit of readers of the blocked bug reports: Bug#802284 needs to
be resolved, by having Git-BuildPackage not attempt to run ‘debian/rules’
until the source working tree is assembled correctly. Currently it attempts
to run ‘debian/rules clean’ in a tree that does not yet have the upstream
source, so the build fails.

I have followed this advice in many packages as a workaround for this bug.

Now though, there are a number of bugs in those packages that are *caused*
by making the 'clean' command a no-op.

I am marking this bug as blocking resolution of those reports.
