Dear Maintainers,

After setting DEBSNAP_DESTDIR in my ~/.devscripts configuration file, I
get the following unexpected error:

,----
| $ debsnap --list python-evtx
| debsnap: fatal error at line 255:
| Destination dir /home/bengen/tmp/deb already exists.
| Please (re)move it first, or use --force to overwrite.
`----

I don't see why I should need to use --force for an operation that does
not even modify the destination directory, so I have moved the check
as-is into the $mkDestDir function, see attached patch.

Cheers,
-Hilko
