        dh_auto_build -- -k check || { RET=$$?; find . -name
"test-suite.log" -exec cat {} + ; exit $$RET;}
endif

I believe debhelper already does something similar for
dh_auto_configure & ./configure style build-systems, i.e. at the end
of a failed configure it does cat "config.log"
Displaying all test-suite.log files, at the end of failed dh_auto_test
would be highly appreciated.

Anybody can convert above logic into dh_auto_test's make build-system?
