Hi,


..a wee control file tweak idea for bootlogd_2.91-1+devuan2 and later:
root@xxx:/var/cache/apt/archives# cat /var/cache/apt/archives/control2
Package: bootlogd
Source: sysvinit
Version: 2.91-1+devuan2
Architecture: amd64
Maintainer: Vincenzo Nicosia <katolaz@???>
Installed-Size: 105
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.4), lsb-base (>= 3.2-14)
Section: admin
Priority: required
Homepage: http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/sysvinit
Description: daemon to log boot messages
bootlogd logs all messages printed to the system console during system
boot, and records those messages to a logfile.
.
Note that not all init systems print messages to the system console,
so that the logfile may remain empty; this is the case with systemd
(Debian's default init system). Try "journalctl -b" instead.

Scenarios always come in sets of three:
best case, worst case, and just in case.
