I'm not actually recommending combining clean with the other targets
(since what's the point? and it seems weird to do) -- just pointing out
that normal Makefile rules apply here.

I don't think anything in the debian/rules file(s) protect against it,
so you're probably right that this would be unsafe to use with -j. 

FWIW, I never use -j with the kernel build... The build parallelizes
itself very nicely without my help, due to some internal magic that I
haven't looked into very deeply.
