** Description changed:

- sabdfl requested the curtin install log on a node's page not surface the
- name 'curtin' - it should just be called 'install log'.
+ === Begin SRU Information ===
+ [Impact]
+ The impact is for MAAS's UI, from a consistency perspective.  In newer
+ versions of MAAS, certain files from the system during installation are
+ collected and made available in the UI.  One of those was curtin's 
+ log file 'curtin_install.log'.
+ 
+ The impact is then that in debugging, the user would have to know if a
+ install used curtin or d-i in order to investigate the correct file name.
+ 
+ This is arguably of trivial importance, but the change to the code and impact
+ are also trivial.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ Install system with curtin in MAAS.
+ Check the install log on the node's page to see if the file is 'install.log'
+ or 'curtin_install_log'.
+ 
+ [Other Information]
+ The version of curtin in 14.04 did not create any log by itself, so the
+ user of 14.04 version of curtin will not have any expectation on the file name.
+ The version of 14.10 in utopic would have created /var/log/install.log.  
+ So, the exposed expectation is in users of 14.10 curtin who were using curtin
+ outside of MAAS (those using from maas aren't generally going looking for
+ log files on the ephemeral install system).
+ === End   SRU Information ===
+ 
+ 
+ sabdfl requested the curtin install log on a node's page not surface the name 'curtin' - it should just be called 'install log'.
