I count 7 packages providing system-log-daemon. It seems kinda odd to me, that we should duplicate that functionality in 7 packages. Don't you agree? bootlogd doesn't look like the right place either. As this particular log file is about the actual boot process only, I kinda feel it doesn't belong into rsyslog but naturally fits into sysvinit/initscripts.
