There is daemon called bootlogd which creates a bootlog-file named
/var/log/boot. The bootlogd is part of the package sysvinit
http://packages.debian.org/stable/base/sysvinit
The standard behavior of the bootlogd is to be turned off, so in order
to get the log file you have to edit the file /etc/default/bootlogd,
to set BOOTLOGD_ENABLE equal to yes.
BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=yes
According to random pages on google you may have to install
initscripts or module-init-tools.

PS: I never understood why is bootlogd turned of by default. In case
some big guru is reading this, I would be grateful for a pointer to an
explanation. :)
