So would I :-) but I got the impression /var (or /) is read-only when
vdevd starts, which made it spit the dummy. That's why I tried with
directing it to /run. I guess the logging needs som hands-on

For the actually changed files, I have the context diff:

Just to be clear: you are now going back to the github source. My
snapshot is from the new exercise against the gnuinos. (Except that I
brought in the making of the initramfs, which was missing in the deb)

I think that was the effect of trying to log on /var.
