For the record, it is not true that there is no logging of initscripts.
The logging is perhaps not enabled by default and it is perhaps not
detailed to the extent as suggested in the bugreport, but by running

echo 'BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=Yes' > /etc/default/bootlogd

one can enable initscript logging to /var/log/boot, which will show
everything that was sent to the console during bootup (excluding kernel
messages).
