The clean target needs to clean perfectly when building on top of git.

Perhaps you did not cleanup maunally after some unusual work (e.g. an 
interrupted or failed test build)?

Or perhaps our packaging do not generally cleanup properly at the 
moment?

You can try be lazy and build with the --git-export option, but really 
the proper thing to do is figure out why it isn't clean, and fix it so 
that it is.

Perhaps try gbp-clone --pristine-tar from a fresh dir - if that works 
(also with repeated builds cleaning in-between - then it is simply your 
own git clone that got messed up due to some custom work of yours.
