This is deliberate. See the changelog in

* Stop splitting up mail.*
This avoids having mail related messages duplicated in mail.log and
mail.{info,warn,err}. (Closes: #508376)
* Drop catch-all log files /var/log/{messages,debug}
Avoid unnecessary duplication as those log messages end up in
/var/log/syslog anyway. (Closes: #580552)
* Stop splitting lpr facility into its own log file.
The default printing system CUPS is not using this facility so its
basically unused nowadays.
* Stop splitting daemon facility into its own log file.
The daemon facility is too vaguely defined to be really useful and
since
those log messages end up in /var/log/syslog anyway, stop duplicating
them.
This means: daemon.log was removed both from /etc/rsyslog.conf and
/etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog.
If you have a /etc/rsyslog.conf with a /var/log/daemon.log line, then
this is due to some local modification and you need to remove that
locally yourself.
