[Bug 570103] Re: rsyslog still includes /etc/default/rsyslog, which isn't used

[sm8ps]

Thanks for your answers, Simon and Clint! Obviously, '/etc/init/rsyslog.conf' has not been updated as it is missing the 'script'-section. I had a fresh install of Lucid and turned on backports after installation which was several weeks ago. From the 'dpkg'-log I see that 'syslogd' was upgraded to version 4.2.0-2ubuntu8.1. I had not modified anything in either configuration or upstart file until today when I had to turn remote logging on.
So it seems that the upgrade did not change '/etc/init/rsyslog.conf' as it should have from my point of view. The fix is easy, of course. I shall simply add the 'script'-section. Maybe this information can provide useful to somebody else in the same situation. However, I think that 'dpkg' should handle the upgrade in a different way. 
Cheers!

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!
