dh_clean error with apt-get source build

[Carl Greco <cgreco@cox-internet.com>]

I get the following error with the command

-------
apt-get -b source fetchmail
	.
	.
dh_clean
dh_clean: Sorry, but 2 is the highest compatability level of debhelper currently supported.
make: *** [clean] Error 1
------

dh_clean executes ok from command line.  

I'm running 2.2r4.  dh_clean is part of the debhelper (2.0.86)
package.  dpkg is version 1.6.15 as is dpkg-dev where
dpkg-buildpackage is located.  It would appear that debhelper/dh_clean
version difference with dpkg and dpkg-dev is the problem.  Can anyone
confirm this or offer another alternative?
