Can we please use /etc/syslog.d/ instead? this way we don't get locked
in any specific implementation. I'm preparing a patch for
inetutils-syslogd to support that, and it might also make sense to
require all system-log-daemon providers to support that dir as well.

rsyslogd seems to have a lot of features, and it's a bit big compared
to other implementations, do normal users need all that stuff?
Sysadmins can easily change it, and I bet most of the users do not
care much what syslogd is installed as long as it's just logging.
The list of syslogd sorted by Installed-Size:
Package: socklog-run
Installed-Size: 148
Package: sysklogd
Installed-Size: 212
Package: inetutils-syslogd
Installed-Size: 216
Package: syslog-ng
Installed-Size: 552
Package: rsyslog
Installed-Size: 672
