I managed to write bootlogd when I intended to write bootchartd. That
is the package making statistics about the boot process.

Sorry for the confusion. bootchartd is a shell script collecting
information into a tmpfs area during boot, and packing it together in
/var/log/ when the boot is over. It have no other way to store the
stats before other file systems are available but to put it in a tmpfs
area.

In LTSP, / is a readonly NFS mount (and /var is on /, also readonly).
Because of this, I did not consider / local and your description did
not match my understanding of LTSP.
