This is the call to pkg-config in setup.py  that is invoked
unconditionally.  For cleaning it is certainly not necessary, but for
building, 'pkg-config' should find 'mia3d-2.0' since it is provided by
the build dependency libmia-2.0-dev.

I've dug a bit through the pybuild code, and the call to 
'setup.py clean' seems to be deep inside and unconditional. 
I added an  "override_dh_auto_clean" to replace it by just deleting the
build directories.  Unless I figure out how to override the clean
command in setup.py, I don't think I can do much better.
