Bug#1006923: Add a method to append something to reprotest's build-command

[Santiago R.R.]

Package: reprotest
Version: 0.7.19
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-salsa-ci at alioth-lists.debian.net

Hi there!

Let's suppose that someone wants to pass some arguments to
dpkg-buildpackage called by reprotest, as reported here:
https://salsa.debian.org/salsa-ci-team/pipeline/-/issues/245

AFAICS, we could hack --build-command, but I would like to avoid
hard-coding how reprotest calls dpkg-buildpackage. We could also use
--auto-preset-expr, but is not something straightforward (e.g. you have
to make sure the shell correctly interprets characters spaces in the
PYTHON_EXPRESSION).

Could reprotest have an --append-build-command option please?
