Just in case this got lost in too much information:

You can ask bug reporters to turn on debug logging at specific points. With 
the Qt UI, Shift-F7 opens a pop-up dialog where you can turn debug logging on 
or off.

For example, you can ask a bug reporter to start an installation normally, and 
when, say, the proposal dialog is shown, to hit Shift-F7, turn on debug 
logging and then go to the package selection. 

You might also want to ask him to turn debug logging off again (Shift-F7 
again), for example when he is back at the proposal.


Anticipating that remark: Yes, it's documented in the Bug Reporting FAQ.
