What I was trying to suggest is that if it does something like write the file 
out on exit, scons could do something to avoid that.  Maybe set a global flag. 
 Or simply crash in such a way that it exits without running that sort of 
cleanup stuff.

Or maybe clean should reach over to the data base stuff and clean that out so 
that when it gets written out it is ready to be used with a fresh clone.

I like the suggestion of gpsd maintaining a script that does whatever is 
necessary to clean things up.

That script can't delete anything it doesn't know about.  I'm likely to have 
scripts there.  So it has to know about the stuff it creates.  It also has to 
work from a tarball rather than depend on git.
