At the end of that file, you can comment out the very last line, which
currently says "rm -R ${bulklog}/${pkgname}".  To keep only certain
build logs, you can wrap this command in a 'case' statement:

case ${pkgname} in
gnupg-*)
	# keep the log files
	;;
*)
	rm -R ${bulklog}/${pkgname}
	;;
esac

In the function 'cleanup', you can see that there is a configuration
option named 'keep_wrkdir'.  That's for extreme cases where the
build.log is not enough.

After editing this file, re-build pkgtools/pbulk.
