I cannot reproduce this.  It seems you used an early version of
debhelper 7, and current debhelper versions work around the issue:

,----
| debhelper (7.0.3) unstable; urgency=low
| 
|   * dh: Fix man page typos. Closes: #477933
|   * Add missing $! to error message when the log can't be opened.
|   * One problem with the log files is that if dh_clean is not the last command
|     run, they will be left behind. This is a particular problem on build
|     daemons that use real root. Especially if cdbs is used, since it runs
|     dh_listpackages after clean, thereby leaving behind log files that
|     only root can touch. Avoid this particular special case by inhibiting
|     logging by dh_listpackages.

Although that may not even be necessary, since dh_clean seems to be last
debhelper command used in the clean target.  So I think the bug can be
closed, do you agree?
