First pass answer: you can't.  sbuild (tries to) clean up after builds.

Alternate: try to get a porter to redo the build and give you the desired
info.

Best: rewrite your build script to put the desired info into the build log.
Instead of:
	foo >/tmp/foo 2>&1
use:
	if foo >/tmp/foo 2>&1 ; then : ; else cat /tmp/foo ; exit 1 ; fi
