Dear Maintainer,
varnishlog fails to start on reboot:

accelerator log deamon: failed!

It appears to be a timing issue restarting it manually works fine:
systemctl restart varnishlog.service
root@pawan:/var/log# systemctl status varnishlog

That said, I am not really sure this even works. The only reference I see to
varnishlog is:
root@pawan:/# find /lib/systemd/ /etc -name varnishlog\*
/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/varnishlog.service
/etc/default/varnishlog
/etc/init.d/varnishlog
and varnishlog.service is a dangling symlink to:
/lib/systemd/system/varnishlog.service
it seems to some type of left-over from a previous version:
dpkg -S varnishlog
varnish: /usr/bin/varnishlog
varnish: /etc/init.d/varnishlog
varnish: /usr/share/man/man1/varnishlog.1.gz
varnish: /etc/default/varnishlog
So I stopped the service the service and removed the file:
# systemctl disable varnishlog.service
# systemctl stop varnishlog.service
# rm /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/varnishlog.service
I wanted to document this, but maybe there is a cleanup process missing
somewhere?
