Sure. For some context, I'm running Packer via a Jenkins pipeline, which 
spins up an ephemeral container within a Kubernetes cluster.
As some builds can take an hour or more to run, I'd like Packer to pause 
when an error occurs, then I can attach to the container and start 
debugging the current environment.
This would greatly improve the dev process and make debugging much faster.

I believe this doesnt currently work as I thought as the container doesnt 
have a terminal attached, so I'm looking for possible solutions.
