I was originally suggesting to add 'set -e' and trap 'cleanup' 0
to the code but that starts looking ever messier. In case of
debian-snapshot: one needs to check whether output is procuded
as it should be; building this goal will always exit with
zero value (provided that last echo ... succeeds).

Ok, provided that the above is OK with this particular target.

(please push fast, I'm tired with all the /tmp/tmp.XXXXXX files
I've got to clean up so far >;)
