So now we have libraries like liblognorm, which are only used by rsyslog, raised to priority important. This means, if someone installs a new system and decides to use syslog-ng instead of rsyslog, he'll get the libraries anyway, which are then completely useless. This is not making the process more transparent, but only more convoluted. I hope you realize how stupid that is.
