How about using the same convention as .gitignore, so to include a directory foo put a line foo/ in debian/clean. The trailing slash would tell dh_clean that this is a directory please remove it anyway. This would avoid making debian/cleandirs which seems like too much clutter, and the syntax is pretty easy to remember and read.
