Bug#681779: devscripts: [getbuildlog] please exit with non-zero if a log can't be found

[Cyril Brulebois]

Package: devscripts
Version: 2.12.1
Severity: normal

Hello,

trying to automate log retrieval through getbuildlog is a bit tricky
since it exits with 0 all the time, even if a log can't be found.

Example:
  getbuildlog foo bar baz; echo $?
  0

It would be helpful if it would exit with non-0 if a log can't be
found/retrieved.

Mraw,
KiBi.
