Debian policy section 7.7 clearly states that Build-Depends must be
satisfied before "clean" is invoked. I see that it could be convenient
to invoke "clean" with a small subset of the build-deps installed, but
this is at most a wishlist bug in aptitude IMO. (if pdebuild isn't
checking build-deps, it might be a bug in pdebuild)
According to the comments in debian/rules, configure is invoked to
ensure that the documentation is enabled. It might be enough to remove
that line and instead write
[ ! -f doc/Makefile ] || $(MAKE) -C doc distclean
after we invoke $(MAKE) distclean. I suspect it would also be a good
idea to explicitly clean in src/gtk, since that can also be disabled.
