DH_PREP(1)                        Debhelper                       DH_PREP(1)
       dh_prep - perform cleanups in preparation for building a binary
       package
       dh_prep [debhelper options] [-Xitem]
       dh_prep is a debhelper program that performs some file cleanups in
       preparation for building a binary package. (This is what dh_clean -k
       used to do.) It removes the package build directories, debian/tmp,
       and some temp files that are generated when building a binary
       package.
       It is typically run at the top of the binary-arch and binary-indep
       targets, or at the top of a target such as install that they depend
       on.
       -Xitem --exclude=item
           Exclude files that contain item anywhere in their filename from
           being deleted, even if they would normally be deleted. You may
           use this option multiple times to build up a list of things to
           exclude.
