+.SH NAME
+dh_clean \- clean up package build directories
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B dh_clean
+.I "[debhelper options] [-k] [-d] [file ...]"
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+dh_clean is a debhelper program that is responsible for cleaning up after a
+package is built. It removes the package build directories, and removes some
+other files, such as debian/substvars, debian/files, DEADJOE, emacs backup 
+files, any detritus left behind by other debhelper commands, etc.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B debhelper options
+See
+.BR debhelper (1)
+for a list of options common to all debhelper commands.
+.TP
+.B \-k, \--keep
+Do not delete debian/files. When do you want to use this? Anytime you have a
+debian/rules that has 2 binary targets that build different .deb packages;
+for example, one target is binary-arch, and the other is binary-indep, or
+one target builds the shared library, and the other the -dev package. If you
+didn't use -k in these cases, then debian/files would be deleted in the
+middle, and your changes file will only contain the last binary package that
+was built.
+.TP
+.B \-d, \--dirs-only
+Only clean the package build directories, do not clean up any other files at
+all.
+.TP
+.B file ...
+Delete these files too.
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+See
+.BR debhelper (1)
+for a list of environment variables that affect all debhelper commands.
