I may not have complained to you, but I certainly have been regularly
annoyed by this for many years, and have had to fix people's clean
targets before I could debug the actual problem I downloaded their
package to look at. Yes it's not the biggest problem in the world, but
it's sizeable lump of grit in the system, at least for some of us.

It does exist. It's broken far too often and it affects actual
developers using debian tools. It's supposed to work.
