How about restarting syslog (or it's equivalent) after relocating the

Harder than it looks. There are multiple syslog daemons, how can the
package know which one is installed and needs to be restarted?
Look in /proc and find out which process has the log socket open? If that
process belongs to one of the packaged syslog implementations (there aren't
that many!) restart it.
That much is easy, but how do you turn a process ID into a script that
can be invoke-rc.d'd?
Well, I suppose one could hard code in a list of packaged syslog daemons
and the names of their init scripts, but that's pretty nasty.
IMO this is just foolishness caused by the hacks necessary to start udev
immediatly after the package has been installed, rather than after the
system is rebooted.
