I think it would be appropriate if debhelper's meson backend would
include in the build logs the content of
$(CURDIR)/obj-$(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE)/meson-logs/testlog.txt at least
when the build tests fail. This can help diagnose test failures
(especially on obscure architectures.)

I think this is encouraged by Debian Policy ยง4.9's paragraph about the
build being as verbose as possible.

Test Case

excerpt of the build log

ERROR:../tests/test-journal.c:399:test_journal_invalid_file: child
process (/journal/invalid_file [15310]) failed unexpectedly

Full log written to /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/obj-mips-linux-gnu/meson-logs/testlog.txt

Thanks,
