this is a bug, or at least an annoyance, in debclean; it will find every
subdirectory of the current directory that contains a directory called
`debian` and call `debuild -- clean` there. this is intended when you
run debclean in a directory where you have several debian packages,
but it does not make sense when you are already inside a source package
directory. I'm writing a fix for this.
