JFYI, I also get them:
stt008:~# grep -i -e imk -e rsyslog /var/log/syslog*
/var/log/syslog:Jul 1 07:52:00 stt008 kernel: imklog 3.18.6, log source = /proc/kmsg started.
/var/log/syslog:Jul 1 07:52:00 stt008 rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="3.18.6" x-pid="2616" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com";] restart
/var/log/syslog.1:Jul 1 07:38:58 stt008 kernel: imklog 3.18.6, log source = /proc/kmsg started.
/var/log/syslog.1:Jul 1 07:38:58 stt008 rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="3.18.6" x-pid="2616" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com";] restart

Dunno, but I hope yes, there should be a good reason for starting rsyslog
service and imklog module twice.
