Or people can use puppet and the like.
If we let the systemd package provide system-log-daemon, then this makes other syslog implementations uninstallable as they have a Conflicts/Provides: system-log-daemon. So I guess a separate package is actually the only clean way here. The package wouldn't be so much for configuring the system but for providing this package dependency. -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
