Of course, I know packaging issues are not touched by upstream, so the
configuration/startup scripts are Debian specific, right? Then, I'll
file a Debian bug for /etc/init.d/rsyslog. Another issue is about
writing a Hurd-specific plugin file: plugins/imklog/gnu.c. However, this
is not an urgent matter so it can wait until later. Thanks!
