I would like to be able to configure debian-installer to log messages to a remote syslog server. I know that I can recover the log messages after installation is complete but it would be convenient for me to be able to monitor netbooted clients as they are installed.
This is an interesting consideration, but as Christian pointed out, this would probably need to be a new d-i inclusion by someone interested enough to hack on and maintain such a feature. However, since I've done a few preseeded remote installs[0], I think you might be able to work with the existing network-console[1] and perhaps include your own syslog configuration and service restart via a preseed early_command script. Just a couple thoughts.
