Although minor, there is an issue in the man page for current rsyslogd
package in Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS.

Regarding "-d" option, man page says:

------
  -d     Turns  on  debug  mode.   Using this the daemon will not
proceed a fork(2) to set itself in the background, but opposite to
that stay in the
              foreground and write much debug information on the
current tty.  See the DEBUGGING section for more information.
------

This is a lie. Using the "-d" option alone will still fork rsyslog to
background.

** Affects: rsyslog (Ubuntu)
