Yes, in most cases, it is better to depend on $syslog instead of
syslog.  As most programs are able to run without the syslog server
running, it is probably better to use should-* dependency instead of
required-* for $syslog.

I believe most scripts use $syslog instead of syslog, but it is based
on the packages I have checked in my work on this release goal.  I am
sure there are some packages with incorrect dependencies, but luckily
it should be the minority.  Anyway, thank you for bringing it to my
attention, I'll keep it in mind.

Happy hacking,
