I narrowed it down, it occurs when `debian/rules clean` is not run
before the build. I use that when I don't have enough the build-deps
outside the chroot to run `debian/rules clean` but enough to create the
source package. Looking at override_dh_auto_clean, I think that is
incorrect, instead the unwanted files should be deleted during an
execute_before_dh_auto_configure target. You can't guarantee that
debian/rules clean has been run after unpacking the source package,
but the package tests (incorrectly) rely on that having happened.
