Ben Nuttal recently informed my that trying to use the "debug" button in mu-editor in Debian buster results in

</p><p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">The simplest fix seems to be to adjust sys.path[0] in mu-debug.py I whipped up (and tested) a patch to do that.
While working on that I noticed that the clean target was broken, so I fixed that too.
knowledgejunkie: are you ok if I go ahead and NMU this and ask the release team for an unblock? (if I get no response i'll NMU in 5 days, but I'd really like to move sooner given how little time is available before release)
