Here is the /etc/init/rsyslog.conf as shipped in rsyslog
4.2.0-2ubuntu8.1 :

# rsyslog - system logging daemon
#
# rsyslog is an enhanced multi-threaded replacement for the traditional
# syslog daemon, logging messages from applications

description     "system logging daemon"

start on filesystem
stop on runlevel [06]

expect fork
respawn

script
    . /etc/default/rsyslog
    exec rsyslogd $RSYSLOGD_OPTIONS

Title:
  rsyslog still includes /etc/default/rsyslog, which isn't used

Status in “rsyslog” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “rsyslog” source package in Lucid:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: rsyslog

  The package for rsyslog in Lucid still includes a /etc/default/rsyslog
  file. Since the migration to upstart, that file should be there,
  afaik. It's rather confusing for users to have that file, restart
  syslog and see that the changes aren't honored.

  Please remove /etc/default/rsyslog from the package, thanks!
