Interesting.  I don’t have any personal experience with `gbp pull`, but I 
would imagine the idea is for it to respect Files-Excluded.  Perhaps you might 
want to file a bug.

The documentation does say it only works in about 90% of cases.

"This is intended to work for about 90% of packages. If it doesn't work, or 
tries to use the wrong clean target, you're encouraged to skip using 
dh_auto_clean at all, and just run make clean manually.”

https://manpages.debian.org/jessie/debhelper/dh_auto_clean.1.en.html

If you desire you might file a bug report and see if they can figure out how to 
parse your Makefile.  Otherwise, it looks like your solution is exactly what is 
recommended.
