klogd only fetches messages from kernel and pushes them to syslogd (well, it
can decode some informations, but that's irelevant). sysklogd was a package
containing both syslogd and klogd, they are separate now.

those messages are printed by kernel to the current console(s).
'dmesg -n' configures messages of which level to print to the console(s).
They all are still send to kmsg, where syslogd,syslog-ng or klogd read them
from.
syslog-ng (I use it) startup script can set up that level, configured in
/etc/default/syslog-ng. I have set it to 4:
# log level of messages which should go to console
# see klogctl(8) or <linux/kernel.h> for details
#
CONSOLE_LOG_LEVEL=4
