Dear Maintainer,

Since version v8.2312 of rsyslog the kernel timestamp are omitted by default in
the kernel logs due to the fix of[1]. This is a useful feature for
investigating kernel issues and it woudl be nice to have it enabled by default.
Would it be possible to update debian/rsyslog.conf to set
keepkerneltimestamp="on".

Could you elaborate why the kernel timestamps are useful for investigating kernel issues and why this is a good distro default?
