Hi,

This package fails to build a source package after a successful build
(dpkg-buildpackage ; dpkg-buildpackage -S).

This is probably a clear violation of Debian Policy section 4.9 (clean target),
but this is filed as severity:minor for now, because a discussion on
debian-devel showed that we might want to revisit the requirement of a working
'clean' target.

More information about this class of issues, included common problems and
solutions, is available at
https://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/FTBFS/SourceAfterBuild

Relevant part of the build log:
The full build log is available from:
http://qa-logs.debian.net/2023/08/13/brian_2.5.4-1_unstable.log

If you reassign this bug to another package, please mark it as 'affects'-ing
this package. See https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control#affects

If you fail to reproduce this, please provide a build log and diff it with mine
so that we can identify if something relevant changed in the meantime.

Closes: 1042608 1043920 1049556
Changes:
 brian (2.5.4-2) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * d/clean: also clean docs/ and egg info. (Closes: #1043920)
   * d/rules: make workaround for #739300 more robust.
     The initial shape of the workaround with sed and grep made it
     self-destruct on first pass, causing failure to build binary packages
     twice in a row.  Isolating one character of the regex immunizes the
     recipe against itself.  The check for existence of remaining files is
     also necessary so sed does not attempt to run on zero files.
     (Closes: #1049556)
   * d/rules: reinforce documentation cleanup.
     This also eases the Sphinx 7.1 and docutils 0.20 transition.
     (Closes: #1042608)
