Hi Santiago,
Is there any reason why the make clean command should remove Makefiles.
To me the easier fix is not to build web alpine, just add '--without-tcl'
as one of the options of the configure script.
Does this address this issue to your satisfaction.

Hello from Debian.
Some time ago, there was a QA effort by Lucas Nussbaum to ensure that
the clean target of Debian packages was correct. The alpine package
was affected, and this was the error:
[...]

--include-removal to override

dpkg-source: error: aborting due to unexpected upstream changes, see
/tmp/alpine_2.26+dfsg-1.diff.3mBJCF
These kind of errors are first and foremost a problem in the Debian
package, but in some cases, and I believe this is one of them, it may
indicate a problem in the upstream makefiles.
In this case one would wonder why
./configure; make; make clean
would leave those three Makefiles there:
web/src/Makefile
web/src/alpined.d/Makefile
web/src/pubcookie/Makefile
instead of they being removed, which is what one would naturally
expect from "make clean" when it's the case that those Makefiles
are generated from their Makefile.in templates.
Thanks.
