[PATCH 1/6] debian/rules: do not require (fake) root privileges to clean



Building a target that creates a directory as true root might leave
behind files that an ordinary user would not be able remove, but
luckily, rm -f errors out in that (rather rare) case.  So spare the
user some complication and keystrokes by skipping the dh_testroot
check.
