yup.

>From prebaseconfig.postinst:

# Copy install logs to /target/var/log/
logsavedir=/target/var/log/debian-installer
test -d $logsavedir || mkdir $logsavedir
cp /var/log/* $logsavedir

# Copy current debconf databse into /target
cp -a /var/lib/cdebconf /target/root

We should call db_stop first, however, so cdebconf has saved its db.
