+- we could just copy it to /run/log
+- if we have backfilling for shipped logs (we don't yet)
+  then we might want to ship it - but that may result in duplicate
+  logs if some of it was shipped before the crash

+perhaps we should truncate pmsg0 on orderly shutdown? or maybe it's
+good to see the late shutdown logs.

+The build-system shell script in outputs.systemConfiguration
