I manage to install syslog-ng on any system I care, so really do not
trust me on what I'm gonna say...
an obvious way is to add 'klogd restart' at the bottom of the
scripts (or inside the sysklogd init script), but i'm seeing that cron
scripts invoke /etc/init.d/sysklogd with 'reload-or-restart' parameter
and i assume that a sighup doesn't break kernel logging (it's only an
assumption), so maybe the problem is that, for whatever
reason, syslogd is restarted instead that signalled...
anyway, i think that a mix of BTS [http://bugs.debian.org] and debian
users list [debian-users@lists.debian.org] would be more appropriate
for a solution.

Ciao,
Gian Piero.
