Bug#737632: autopkgtest: adt-run builds packages differently to the buildd

Hi Martin,

that would mimic the buildd case and sounds like a good solution to the 
problem to me. autopkgtest would then also benefit immediately from any changes 
to dpkg-buildpackage that were driven by policy in the behaviour of the clean 
target, environment etc.

thanks!
Stuart
