It is not the init script, it is the busybox syslog implementation.
For simplicity, it is one applet that does both syslog function and
klogd function, and klogd function is not optional.  In order to
stop providing klogd, someone should write a patch for busybox
(upstream, because I for one don't want to make debian-specific
changes to busybox) to make klogd function optional, after which
it will be possible to adjust initscript to run syslogd without
klogd if systemd is running.

Tagging as wontfix for now.
