Git-BuildPackage should assemble the package source as an overlay,
*before* calling ‘debuild -S’ or ‘debian/rules clean’ or anything
else which requires the source assembled in that directory.

For the benefit of readers of the blocked bug reports: Bug#802284 describes
the behaviour that Git-BuildPackage is incorrectly attempting to run
‘debian/rules clean’ before it has assembled a source working tree for
building.

In many packages I have followed this advice while waiting for this bug to
be fixed. It has worked around the issue until now.

However, there are now several bugs reported that are *caused* by setting
the ‘cleaner’ to a no-op. I am marking this bug as blocking resolution of
those bugs.
