As I recall, this is not because dh_clean does not remove the file but
because dpkg-source generates the file on a -S build now (after running
dh_clean).

Title:
  dh_clean no longer deletes debian/files

Status in debhelper package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  According to the dh_clean man page, dh_clean "removes some other files
  including debian/files". In xenial, this was indeed the case. However,
  since I have upgraded to bionic, debian/files is no longer being
  deleted, for example, when I run debuild -S -us -uc to build a
  package.
