To be fair, it would be helpful if you _did_ look in to things, before
making incorrect statements with such certainty. If you don't get logs
as usual via syslog, that's a bug and should be fixed.

$ ls -ltr /sbin/init 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Sep 28 20:33 /sbin/init -> /lib/systemd/systemd

$ ls -l /var/log/syslog
-rw-r----- 1 root adm 769029 Nov 17 22:50 /var/log/syslog
