Well, I was really thinking in terms of an Epylog module. If there is
installroot information, then uninteresting bits (non-root installs)
are easily discarded, however I'm wondering if filling up
/var/log/messages with thousands of entries on each mock rebuild is
useful. So, if the following two things happen:

1. installroot=/var/lib/your/mom is added to log messages
2. syslogging can be additionally turned off in config file (e.g. for
mock configs)

then I would be happy in a tent.
