Not really.

The best you can do now is to log everything (... /debug >> \\path\...) 
and parse it later.

Or look at Marco Gaiarin's suggestion.


That being said, I see there was some attempt at refactoring the logging 
a bit in the "Zombie package handling" thread:

- Introduced a warning() method to create warning-level messages (used 
to notify users about zombie removal in case uninstall fails)


Still, I have to admit I didn't look at it (will do during the weekend), 
but perhaps that's not what you want anyway.


But what you want, is a good idea. To make it work, we would need to do 
the following:

* rework info, debug functions
Really, they can be just one function, and should accept log level. 
Different log levels would give you different information.


http://bugzilla.wpkg.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21 reminds it a bit, but only a 
bit.
