How can I to rebuild deb second time? It looks like I miss some cleanup

Usually the 'fakeroot debian/rules clean' returns the package's sources
to the initial state. Such behaviour is required by Debian Policy
Manual chapter 6.2 [1].

Yet there're packages that violate this principle, and you may be
'lucky' enough to encounter such package.

If it makes things simplier - violation of 6.2 by certain package
justifies a bug report against such package.

It was ubuntu package (sigh), and it not just has no 'clean' target, but also got parasitic neutron-egg.info folder inside 'original' tar.gz, (it was blacklisted in .gitignore of upstream).

I've reported bug, but it not debian's problem. https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1323383

Thanks.
