Normally all log messages should go into /var/log/messages.
There is no 'normally' in Linux... ;)
For Debian, /var/log/messages has no debug messages and nothing from error and above, and nothing regarding auth, authpriv, cron, daemon, mail, news. Not much left then. The most complete Debian log is /var/log/syslog.
