Thanks for your reply and confirmation.

So, how to fix that issue?

Cleanup debian/*tmp dirs within builddeb script for now?

Fix that clean-dirs mechanism (or remove it)?
These 4 Makefile#s use it...

Documentation/DocBook/Makefile
Makefile
scripts/Makefile.clean
scripts/package/Makefile

Any help appreciated.
