Bug#743331: debian-policy: clean-arch and clean-indep targets



Package: debian-policy
Sеvеrity: serious

§4.9 defines build-{arch,indep} and binary-{arch,indep} targets; but there is no clean-arch or clean-indep! This is a blatant oversight. As a consequence, buildds waste their precious CPU time on trying to remove architecture-independent files that aren't there in the first place.

So let's add clean-arch and clean-indep to the policy! \o/

Note that I'm not asking for making these targets mandatory yet. Maintainers should be given some time (let's say: 12 years) to update their packages.
