The ryslogd man page explains the reasons, and this is in the upstream changelog:
Version 4.5.1 [DEVEL] (rgerhards), 2009-07-15 - CONFIG CHANGE: $HUPisRestart default is now "off". We are doing this to support removal of restart-type HUP in v5. So you either need to turn $HUPisRestart on by default in Debian, or remove the "reload" option from /etc/init.d/rsyslogd. I would recommend the latter as that seems to be the way upstream will go. Unfortunately, I'm unable to interpret the text of policy 9.3.2 strict enough to set a severity allowing you to fix this for squeeze... But it should be fixed to avoid confusing users with non-working options. Bjørn -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
