One idea: double package rebuilds, second rebuild in the same
non-cleaned chroot. Then debdiff and interdiff the results to catch bugs
in the build process. This tests the debian/rules clean rule and also
the clean rules for upstream's build system, or at least how well
debian/rules clean works around upstream :)
