Dear Maintainer,

My DEP-8 tests create some temporary directories, and they use $ADTTMP
to calculate the paths to create.  However, if the tests fail and
you're using --shell-fail/-s, you get dropped into the chroot but
neither the $ADTTMP environment variable, nor the directory (as seen
from the output log) survives in this shell, which makes debugging
test failures quite difficult.

I'm guessing there's a good technical reason why $ADTTMP isn't
available in the fail shell, but here's a formal request to keep it if
possible.
