He did say that with 3.0 (quilt) format the "clean" state is with
patches applied, like you get after dpkg-source -x. That part is
different to 1.0 format where "clean" would have patches unapplied.

So when you go from 1.0 to 3.0 you will get a ton of files changed
after the first build + clean because now patches are applied.
