[Slapt-get-user] No logs for downloads by slapt-get

[Dan Barber]

Roy,

I think what Nigel is probably looking for is a /var/log/slapt-get.log (or
something to that effect) which logs both the commands given to slapt-get
and the actions slapt-get effects in a syslog (combined-logs) style
format.

I think it's a reasonable request, though you may not see the need for it.
In any case, Jason is the final arbiter.
