I realize this is an old topic, but I was just browsing my /var/log
directory (heh... had nothing else to do ;) and noticed that the
dpkg-mountable method to dselect logs the entire installation process
there. After a huge update, install, whatever, you can browse it
at your leisure. How much trouble would it be to get the other
dselect methods to do the same?
