In the near future (systemd ≥ 245), using journald's "Journal
namespaces" feature to run an isolated journald instance, logging to a
file in your $HOME, then running the programs you want to collect log
output from under systemd as user units (systemd --user…), configured to
use that journal namespace, and (where possible) configured to log to
their STDOUT or STDERR file handles:
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-journald.service.html#Journal%20Namespaces
It'll be quite some time before this version of systemd/journalctl is
available in a stable Debian release, however.
