debuild clean fails on bionic

[David Lechner]

When I run `debuild clean` (in a debian package source directory), I get the following error message:

---

 dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc -ui clean
dpkg-buildpackage: error: unknown option or argument clean

Use --help for program usage information.
debuild: fatal error at line 1152:
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc -ui clean failed

---

I don't think this has to do with my source package, but just in case, it is available at https://github.com/ev3dev/opencv.git.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I found a workaround:

    debuild -- clean

If you see this issue, you might need to download dependencies:

sudo apt-get build-dep package_name

I ran into this and it definitely wasn't due to missing build-deps. The package built fine, simply could not issue "debuild clean" to remove the build artifacts. The workaround in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/devscripts/+bug/1764799/comments/3 does work however.
