However, if the latter does not -exist or there is nothing to clean it will exit with zero status doing nothing. +dh_auto_clean is a debhelper program that tries to automatically clean up +after a package build. If there's a Makefile and it contains a "distclean", +"realclean", or "clean" target, then this is done by running make (or MAKE, +if the environment variable is set).
