Subject: [PATCH 5/8] Makefile: don't try to clean old debian build product

```

The 'clean' target includes code to remove an '*.tar.gz' file that
was the by-product of a debian build. This was originally added by
commit 5a571cdd8a (Clean generated files a bit more, to cope with
Debian build droppings., 2005-08-12). However, all support for the
'debian build' was dropped by commit 7d0e65b892 (Retire debian/
directory., 2006-01-06), which seems to have simply forgotten to
remove the 'git-core_$(GIT_VERSION)-*.tar.gz' from the 'clean'
target. Remove it now.
