I was under the impression that it's always good practice to have a
.PHONY target in case there accidentally happens to be a file with the
name of a target, like clean, in the working directory.

As far as an empty clean target in the Makefile goes, if you're adding
a Makefile to the .diff.gz, and you have the choice to call make clean
or not call it in debian/rules, it just seems like extraneous cruft to
include a makefile with a clean target that does nothing just so you
can run make clean in debian/rules.

Then again, I am no more an expert in using Makefiles than a DD, so I
may be in the wrong.
