We are almost there. This is how the current version fails using
a recent dpkg-dev:


dpkg-source: info: local changes detected, the modified files are:
 example.html
dpkg-source: error: aborting due to unexpected upstream changes, see /tmp/hyperkitty_1.3.12-4.diff.A6LYnE


Fortunately this is in the "easy" category, because the file does not
exist in the source code and it's just generated at build time, which
means it's completely safe to remove it in the clean target.

(The "not so easy" category is the case where the file exists, it's
modified during build, but removing it in debian/clean makes the build
to fail).


The attached patch works for me. I have tested not only that
it makes possible to build source after binary, but also that
the generated .debs are identical.

Thanks.
