/var/log/installer is present in the installed system (i.e. it is
preserved after the installation). If taken from the installer, a tar of
/var/log should be sufficient.

Hello Philipp,

I cannot find /var/log/installer:
~ # ls -1 /var/log/
partman
syslog
~ # ls -1 /target/var/log/
alternatives.log
apt
btmp
dpkg.log
faillog
lastlog
wtmp

Is there some other place I should take a look at?
Or will posting /var/syslog be enough?

Regards,
Ben.

Please file a bug against debian-installer (reportbug has a template) and 
attach the installer's syslog (or optimally all of /var/log/installer).

Kind regards and thanks
