+
+dpkg-buildtree - helper for build tree operations during package builds
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+B<dpkg-buildtree> [I<option>...] [I<command>]
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+B<dpkg-buildtree> is a tool to perform common operations on the build tree
+for a source package.
+
+This program was introduced in dpkg 1.22.3.
+
+=head1 COMMANDS
+
+=over
+
+=item B<clean>
+
+Removes all artifacts generated during a build by the various dpkg tools,
+and pathnames used or controlled by dpkg tools that are safe to clean.
+These files are used to track state between package build runs,
+and are in many cases internal implementation details the packager should
+not be concerned about,
+or are staging directories containing build artifacts.
+
+=item B<--help>
+
+Show the usage message and exit.
+
+=item B<--version>
+
+Show the version and exit.

+after having performed other necessary cleanups.
+
+For example for an autoconf-like build system:
+
+=over
+
+ clean:
+ [ ! -f Makefile ] || $(MAKE) distclean
+ dpkg-buildtree clean
