Bug#748852: devscripts: sadt should allow to visualize output even when all tests passed

[Olivier Berger]

Package: devscripts
Version: 2.14.2
Severity: wishlist

Hi.

Even with sadt -v, when tests succesfully pass, the standard outputs are captured and discarded.

It should be possible to nevertheless have access to them for debugging purposes (messages on skipped tests, etc.).

Maybe with a double -v ?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
