I understood that the change was limited to forky and later. With this
change applied and migrated to trixie this technically makes the bugs
below RC.

One option is to accept this change, but with the default set to 1
(don't clean). Then we can pass the option to sbuild on the buildds for
forky/sid/experimental once trixie is released. And developers can also
manually use that option to reproduce the buildds behavior.
Alternatively the behaviour can be changed only for >= forky in the
first point release.
