debian/clean is sufficient for that, I’d say. Enough package building tools clean before the build so that one would notice in due time that the build accidentally uses it. Before this thread gets too long and we hear too many opinion from people don’t have a say in this (like me), I’d like to hear an official statement from the ftp-team on the question: Does Debian tolerate files in upstream tarballs that are (1) legally distributable and (2) not used in any way during the build, even if they do not come with their preferred form of modification?
