The rm will be executed when the "$(CLEANFILES)" is not empty.
This seem to be correct to me.

In my bash I can try the following:

   test -z hi || echo hi
hi
   test -z || echo ho


This is because test -z returns 0 if the string is empty.
Hmm no idea why this would produce an error.

I am not aware of debian packaging attempts.
It would be appreciated, though.  :)
