It depends on whether or not you are performing a GUI installation via
ubiquity or a text installation via debian-installer.  If you are using
ubiquity then the wiki page regarding debugging ubiquity[0] contains
information about the log files that should be included.  They are
'/var/log/syslog' and '/var/log/partman'.  Incidentally, the debugging
ubiquity page is part of the debugging series[1] which contains valuable
information on reporting bugs for a wide variety of packages.
