+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+  dh_clean [debhelper options] [-k] [-d] [file ...] [-Xitem]
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+dh_clean is a debhelper program that is responsible for cleaning up after a
+package is built. It removes the package build directories, and removes
+some
+other files, such as debian/substvars, debian/files, and any detritus left
+behind by other debhelper commands. It also removes common files that
+should not appear in a debian diff:
+  #*# *~ DEADJOE *.orig *.rej *.SUMS TAGS core .deps/* *.P
+
+=head1 OPTIONS
+
+=over 4
+
+=item B<-k>, B<--keep>
+
+Do not delete debian/files. When do you want to use this? Anytime you have a
+debian/rules that has 2 binary targets that build different .deb packages;
+for example, one target is binary-arch, and the other is binary-indep, or
+one target builds the shared library, and the other the -dev package. If you
+didn't use -k in these cases, then debian/files would be deleted in the
+middle, and your changes file will only contain the last binary package that
+was built.
+
+=item B<-d>, B<--dirs-only>
+
+Only clean the package build directories, do not clean up any other files
+at all.
+
+=item B<-X>I<item> B<--exclude=>I<item>
+
+Exclude files that contain "item" anywhere in their filename from being
+deleted, even if they would normally be deleted. You may use this option
+multiple times to build up a list of things to exclude.
+
+=item I<file ...>
+
+Delete these files too.
