Thanks, sorry about the delay.  I've just committed an improvement, making
lintian chase rules that clean, build-arch, and binary-arch depend on.  It
only knows how to chase rules forward, so your example works but something
like:

clean-patched:
        dh_clean

clean: clean-patched

will still fail, but hopefully that's unlikely.
