Since you're using the apt bootstrap, /etc/chef/client.rb is created
by the chef debian package. You could edit this bootstrap template and
add this right after the the 'apt-get install -y chef' line:

sed -ie 's/   :info/   :debug/' /etc/chef/client.rb

That should change the log level for the chef client to debug, and
when knife bootstrap runs chef_client, it should read this value and
produce extra output from the apt-get run during the chef-client run.
