Package: autopkgtest
Version: 5.42

When working with autopkgtest, it is sometimes useful to be able to
retain the tmp directory for inspection.

For example, we're currently using the autopkgtest virt protocol to
drive a package builder chroot for tag2upload.  We use
autopkgtest-virt-null standin in our own tests.

But autopkgtest-virt-null insists on changing to a directory in /tmp,
and then deleting that directory afterwards.

We can set TMPDIR to force the directory to be somewhere we can
retain, which is nice, but there doesn't seem to be a way to get
autopkgtest-virt-null to retain the contents somewhere rather than
deleting them.  An option to skip the call to
`VirtSubproc.downtmp_remove()` would suffice, I think.

We want our tests to run even on very old releases of Debian, so in
the meantime I will do something unprincipled, to make this work with
existing autopkgtest-virt-null.  It would be nice if we could have a
feature for this before the unwrranted assumptions become false - then
we can probe for the new feature, and only do crimes with old
autopkgtest where there's not a better way.

Thanks,
Ian.
