i'm running into this thanks to zoneminder (it looks like some packages which were depending on rsyslogd|system-log-daemon, ala the aforementioned nullmailer, no longer do). looking at /var/lib/dpkg/info/systemd.postinst, it appears that persistent journal in auto-mode *is* enabled by default on new installs and upgrades:# Enable persistent journal, in auto-mode, by default on new installs and upgrades if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt "244.1-2~"; then mkdir -p /var/log/journal ought this bug be revisited given this fact? i see the last comment is from 2017, and systemd 244 was released in 2019. i see reference to some other, small package which enables persistent logging, but i'm unaware of any such package, and it seems unlikely to exist given the code above.
My comments why the systemd package can't have a Conflicts/Replaces/Provides: system-log-daemon still apply (it would make packages like rsyslog uninstallable).
That said, I think most packages don't need a hard dependency on system-log-daemon (and I think zoneminder does neither).
Could you ask the zoneminder maintainer to demote the dependency to Suggests (or Recommends at least)?
