SConstruct always had:

if cleaning:
    env.Default(build_all, audit, clean_misc)
    announce("You must manually remove {}".format(sconsign_file))
else:
    env.Default(build)

The changed name results in support for calling scons with various
Python versions - the pickle format changed too often unfortunately.
Removing .sconsign.*.dblite is probably the best option.
