This advice seems wrong to me. You need to have Build-Depends installed
in order to be able to run the clean target, and you do not want to
proceed with the build if the clean target fails. You can end up with
extraneous junk in the *.diff.gz that may cause build problems.
This sounds like a problem with your local build environment, not with
the package.
