Definitely not apt.

Since sysklogd and syslog-ng conflict, sysklogd must be removed before
syslog-ng can be installed, so there is a window where packages depending on
system-log-daemon are broken. As you can see from the message, this
situation is being explicitly permitted in order to allow the upgrade to
complete.

This seems harmless enough, but would be dpkg's fault.

Also pretty harmless, and syslog-ng's fault.
