Yes, unfortunately mentors runs an older version of lintian (I believe it runs 
lintian from stable).  For the most accurate information, you want to run 
lintian from unstable.

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/lintian

If you setup sbuild using the following instructions and include the lintian 
option, it will run lintian from unstable whenever you build you package 
locally:

It should handle it (it does for the electrum package).  Are you running `gbp 
import-orig --uscan`?

The FTP masters might or might not let this through (they often don’t like 
lintian errors or warnings, but they let some lintian info tags slide, and 
pedantic and experimental tags are generally left up to your discretion).  The 
easiest way to handle it is to add a patch to debian/patches that cherry-picks 
your upstream commit, and then remove the patch with the next release.

The man file for dh_clean says:

'It does not run "make clean" to clean up after the build process. Use 
dh_auto_clean(1) to do things like that.’
