It's a component of the Debian installer, as is os-prober, which is why
os-prober uses it if it's available.
log-output: Runs a command, logging any stdout/stderr output to the syslog,
and preserving the command's exit code. If you use the --pass-stdout option,
it will pass stdout through rather than logging it, so that you can redirect
it to a file or pipe it to another process. Note that the command must be
in the path, shell builtins won't work.
