I would append to it. Its /var/log/installer.log

Nope.
The only thing I can think of is to offer to delete it after the
apt-get madness in case the user knows all went well and they don't
want it.
I don't see any other automatation (such as removal after a week)
which doesn't eithher (a) involve a lot of work to be robust or (b)
violate the principle of least suprise.
