Of course it is OK. I didn't realise that you are removing just a fragment of 
file and not the whole file. However I've seen you dropping the entire file 
with patches more than once in other packages and I did not have a chance to 
tell you about it.

"debian/clean" of course. See dh_clean(1).

OK. I think the better way is to include name of the file you want removed to 
"debian/clean" and `dh_clean` will delete it for you. Alternatively you can 
pass file names of files to remove as arguments to dh_clean.

Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same
function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy
state of things.
