Ping, could we have the bug fixed ? It annoys the hell out of me every time that I stumble on a upstream package whose "make clean" is broken and where I add the required patch but since the git repository doesn't have the patch applied, the build fails and I have to work around this annoying behaviour of git-buildpackage. I have now started using debian/gbp.conf with cleaner = /bin/true as work-around but it's a poor work-around IMO and I'd rather see the bug fixed.
