Great, logfiles! :)

Apt logs activities, like install, remove, upgrade. That is exactly what I 
would like to have in a log file (together with time, date, package 
name-release-version, and the old package name-release-version in case of 
upgrade).

So I would suggest something similar. If you log more messages, it would be 
nice to turn them off to get a 'minimal' log output like apt does.

Instead of choosing between logfile 'on' or 'off', it could become:

  ( ) off
  (*) minimal
  ( ) verbose
