Revert "Update dh_auto documentation."

=head1 DESCRIPTION
-dh_auto_clean is a debhelper program that is responsible for the I<clean> step
-of the L<dh_auto(7)> building process. It tries to automatically clean up after
-a package build by removing all temporary files from the build directory or
-even the build directory itself as appropriate. dh_auto_clean will fail only if
-the source build system clean routine fails. However, if the latter does not
-exist or there is nothing to clean it will exit with zero status doing nothing.
+dh_auto_clean is a debhelper program that tries to automatically clean up
+after a package build. If there's a Makefile and it contains a "distclean",
+"realclean", or "clean" target, then this is done by running make (or MAKE,
+if the environment variable is set). If there is a setup.py or Build.PL, it
+is run to clean the package.
-If dh_auto_clean does not meet your needs or does not work, it is safe to
-skip/override it entirely and just run clean up manually.
-
-#DH_AUTO SHARED OPTIONS#
+This is intended to work for about 90% of packages. If it doesn't work, or
+tries to use the wrong clean target, you're encouraged to skip using
+dh_auto_clean at all, and just run make clean manually.
