Either way works for me.

Policy doesn't say anything about it explicitly. It could be argued, 
that if the package create such files, then there's no sane way to 
implement policy-compliant clean target. The clean target “must undo any 
effects that the ‘build’ and ‘binary’ targets may have had, except that 
it should leave alone any output files created in the parent directory 
by a run of a ‘binary’ target”.

Sounds good to me. :-)

Hmm, I don't see the new package on mentors.d.n. Did you upload it?
