Dear Stefan, bootlogd only replaces /var/log/boot~ if it is given the option "-r" (see the bootlogd manpage). It looks like this option is missing from BOOTLOGD_OPTS above. It should be sufficient to add "-r" there. This means that you would only keep the log for the last two boots, though. Another possibility would be to have a logrotate config file for that, and keep as many logs as you want.
