DH_CLEAN(1) Debhelper DH_CLEAN(1)
dh_clean - clean up package build directories
dh_clean [debhelper options] [-k] [-d] [-Xitem] [path ...]
dh_clean is a debhelper program that is responsible for cleaning
up. It should be the last step of the clean target and other
debhelper commands generally assume that dh_clean will clean up
after them.
It removes the package build directories, and removes some other
files including debian/files, and any detritus left behind by
other debhelper commands. It also removes common files and
directories that should not appear in a Debian diff:
#*# *~ DEADJOE *.orig *.rej *.SUMS __pycache__ TAGS .deps/* *.P
*-stamp
It does not run "make clean" to clean up after the build process.
Use dh_auto_clean(1) to do things like that.
debian/clean
Can list other paths to be removed.
Note that directories listed in this file must end with a
trailing slash. Any content in these directories will be
removed as well.
Supports substitution variables in compat 13 and later as
documented in debhelper(7).
-k, --keep
This is deprecated, use dh_prep(1) instead.
The option is removed in compat 12.
-d, --dirs-only
Only clean the package build directories, do not clean up any
other files at all.
-Xitem --exclude=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.
path ...
Delete these paths too.
Note that directories passed as arguments must end with a
trailing slash. Any content in these directories will be
removed as well.
debhelper(7)
This program is a part of debhelper.
