After a closer look, all those packages do *not* mark the symlinks as conffiles, so are not affected by this problem. So I wouldn't suggest any changes at this stage of the release. As for syslog-ng-core, I think the simplest solution for wheezy is to add the symlinks back to the package /etc/systemd/system/syslog.service /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/syslog-ng.service but does *not* mark them as conffiles. + the usual cleanup of the existing conffiles via preinst.
