I don't recall if there's anything allowed in the sysklogd configuration
that rsyslog doesn't support, but at least for all of our systems
installing an /etc/rsyslog.d fragment that did:

    $IncludeConfig /etc/syslog.conf

was all that was required to transition without changing any existing
configurations.
