Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal sysklogd is unmaintained upstream, and has had no maintainer in Debian for the past 2½ years. It was removed from testing due to RC bugs, and is currently only present in unstable; it is not present in wheezy or in current testing.
rsyslog has replaced sysklogd as the default syslog for over two stable releases now. But while sysklogd remained in the archive, it was not possible for rsyslog to put a transitional package in place. This has caused some problems with upgrades to wheezy due to removal of sysklogd without installation of another syslog daemon. This could be addressed by putting transitional packages in place; having sysklogd removed would enable this to be done in testing/unstable as well as in a future stable update.
