Hi Daniel,
sorry for the long delay. Only now I can reproduce live-installer bugs
in squeeze and wheezy with confidence.
I can also confirm that this bug does __not__ happen in squeeze for sure.
I suspect that bug #673328 is the same as this one because /var/log is
not restored in disk installation.
To confirm it I've build a wheezy standard live image with daily
installer udeb, and with a patched live-installer udeb. In the patched
live-installer /var/log/ directory is in /target/ after install,
without it /var/log does not exist in /target/.

The patched udebs can be found in github

Should this bug be re-assigned to busybox/tar?
