Generally by not running debian/rules clean in my source repository or, if
so, running git reset --hard afterwards.  Yes, it's not particularly
appealing, but it's better than the alternatives: not regenerating
upstream files that are actually build products, not having debian/rules
clean put the source package back into a functionally equivalent state as
before the build, or having to munging the upstream tarball extensively.
