One problem with the log files is that if dh_clean is not the last command run, they will be left behind. This is a particular problem on build daemons that use real root. Especially if cdbs is used, since it runs dh_listpackages after clean, thereby leaving behind log files that only root can touch. Avoid this particular special case by inhibiting logging by dh_listpackages.
