The clean target can invoke any random program. packaging-dev can't know
about this.

In this instance, the packaging guide could tell users to pass '-nc' (no
clean), since it does not make the package unclean. Then you don't need
the build-deps installed because the clean target isn't run.

Title:
  Add depency to package "gobject-introspection"

Status in Ubuntu Packaging Guide:
  New
Status in “packaging-dev” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Please add a depency from the package "ubuntu-dev-tools" to the
  package "gobject-introspection" because if the user has "gobject-
  introspection" not installed the step:
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToFix#Testing_the_fix with debhelper
  will fail with an error message: "dh: unable to load addon gir: Can't
  locate Debian/Debhelper/Sequence/gir.pm"

  In the best case, adding the package as dependency will avoid this
  error because it is required to have installed.
