dh_clean, or even better, fakeroot debian/rules clean. The latter will 
clean up the package by not only removing temporary files under debian/, 
but by calling the clean target on the upstream Makefile, cleaning out its 
build process as well.

And what is this you say about dh_make? Are you running it more than once? 
(One should not really do that.)
