That's a Makefile target and one specifically intended to override the
default dh_auto_clean action (as explained in the dh manpage, a part of
which I quoted). Judging from the squeeze dh_make source, a disabled
example override_dh_auto_configure will be included in a generated
Makefile.

# debmake generated override targets
# This is example for Cmake (See http://bugs.debian.org/641051 )
#override_dh_auto_configure:
#       dh_auto_configure -- \
#       -DCMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH=$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)


There's no code for disabling the default auto clean action in the tar
file.

Considering

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cf.

your interpretation (presumably based on a seriously wrong assumption
about my attitude towards other people) seems to be "a bit mistaken".
