Actually, I forgot that recent versions of sysvinit (2.85-5 and newer, currently only in unstable) have a boot log, which *does* contain messages output by init scripts. bootlogd writes to /var/log/boot by default. I guess I'm too used to the answer to this question being "no", as for the last several years. :) With earlier versions of sysvinit, I guess you could hack /etc/init.d/rcS and /etc/init.d/rc to capture the output from init scripts.
