pbuilder already has support for that, it's called
ADDITIONAL_BUILDRESULTS:

    for FILE in "${ADDITIONAL_BUILDRESULTS[@]}"; do
        log "I: Trying to save additional result ${FILE}"
        cp -a "${BUILDPLACE}$BUILDDIR/"*"/${FILE}" "${BUILDRESULT}" || true
    done

It's the second last entry in pbuilderrc(5) :)

As you can see that cp command looks a bit weird, indeed it copies
the file you list from the built tree ('debian/..' to be clear).
I don't use such feature, but guess you can make use of it? :)
