Bug#1120043: reprotest: --no-clean-on-error does not work

Package: reprotest
Version: 0.7.32
Severity: normal

   * What led up to the situation?

I tried to examine a strange reprotest error and I needed the build
trees from both builds, not just the .debs and the diffoscope output.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

I launched reprotest from the topsrcdir of the package I wanted to test:

  $ reprotest --store-dir /home/yavor/repro --no-clean-on-error .

   * What was the outcome of this action?

reprotest exited with an error but the directory in /tmp was wiped out
so I couldn't inspect it.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

I was expecting reprotest to leave both build trees in /tmp for further
inspection, under the subdirectory it created.
