Doesn't $purge_session = 'successful'; do pretty much this?

By setting it to successful (from the default always), the chroot is
only cleaned up when the build succeeds. If it fails, you can schroot
in, and have everything ready.

And as far as I remember, sbuild exists with a non-zero exit status if
the build fals, so you could do something like

 sbuild $blah || schroot $foo
