Comment (by Pierre Labastie):

 Sure, should be easily doable. But as I understand, this would leave
 '''all''' build directories on the system, which represents quite an
 amount of disk space (not sure how much actually). Maybe it would be
 better to keep the build directory only on test failure? (run tests with
 set +e, test $? after running tests, and only if non zero keep the
 directory). Some packages with expected tests failures would be spuriously
 kept anyway.

 Another option could be to stop the build at the first test failure
 allowing to rerun the tests immediately), but then there should be a way
 to inhibit stopping if tests failures are expected...
