Public bug reported:

We're seeing syslog messages during installers runs truncated to 256
chars. This is annoying.

Digging into the debian-installer source, its calling /sbin/syslogd from
the initrd - this is a busybox binary. In the busybox source, there's a
config variable CONFIG_FEATURE_SYSLOGD_READ_BUFFER_SIZE that defaults to
256. From the code, that looks to be the problem.

Can we either -
1. fix busybox to use a dynamic buffer, or
2. bump the config variable up to 1024 or so?

I'm perfectly happy with solution 2 :)
