This may sound like a silly question, but do you have the bootlogd 
package installed?

I ask, because around that time bootlogd was split off from 
sysvinit-utils into a seperate package, which isn't installed by default.

dom@oz:~$ zcat /usr/share/doc/sysvinit-utils/NEWS.Debian.gz

  bootlogd has moved from sysvinit-utils to a separate bootlogd
  package. If you wish to continue using bootlogd, please install the
  bootlogd package.
  Note that the configuration file /etc/default/bootlogd and its option
  BOOTLOGD_ENABLE no longer exist; if you do not wish to run bootlogd,
  remove the bootlogd package.
