It is a part of debhelper suite. See dh_clean(1).

I did not look into your packaging but why not just ignore symlink and install
original file? Or replace symlink from override_dh_install? Repacking orig.tar
to drop symlink in unnecessary...

Not a lack of belief, but adherence to false knowledge is the enemy of
progress. And certain that we have found everything worth searching for,
we see no point in further search and inquiry. Believing what is
unworthy of belief, believing falsehood as if it were incontrovertible
truth, and sure that we know everything we will ever need to know, we
are worse than ignorant.
