This just isn't true...

dh_make uses:
        # Add here commands to clean up after the build process.
        -$(MAKE) clean

which works fine for auto{conf,make} projects, which don't ship with
makefiles.  Here's an example, but with distclean, just like you're
using:

[snip]
# Add here commands to clean up after the build process.
/usr/bin/make distclean
make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/mcore-user-3.1.3'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `distclean'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/mcore-user-3.1.3'
make: [clean] Error 2 (ignored)
dh_clean
 dpkg-source -b mcore-user-3.1.3
[snip]

So, what is the problem?
