dh_prep is a debhelper program that performs some file cleanups in preparation for building a binary
       package. (This is what dh_clean-k used to do.) It removes the package build directories, debian/tmp, and
       some temp files that are generated when building a binary package.

       It is typically run at the top of the binary-arch and binary-indep targets, or at the top of a target
       such as install that they depend on.

-Xitem--exclude=item
           Exclude  files  that  contain  item anywhere in their filename from being deleted, even if they would
           normally be deleted. You may use this option multiple times to build up a list of things to exclude.
