Title:
  Add a trigger to reload rsyslog when a new configuration file is
  dropped in /etc/rsyslog.d

Status in rsyslog package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in rsyslog source package in Trusty:

Status in rsyslog source package in Yakkety:

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Servers or cloud instances will not log important messages after initial deployment. Manual reboot or restart of services is necessary to get expected behaviour.

  [Test Case]
  1) Install, enable and start haproxy
  2) Observe that /etc/rsyslog.d/49-haproxy.conf is installed
  3) Observe that /var/lib/haproxy/dev/log and /var/log/haproxy.log is NOT created
  4) Restart rsyslog service
  5) Observe that /var/lib/haproxy/dev/log and /var/log/haproxy.log IS created
  6) Restart haproxy service and observe that log now is filled with entries

  With the patched deb steps 3,4 and 6 becomes irrelevant and everything
  works out of the box.

  [Regression Potential]
  Minimal.

  This patch merges a patch from Debian where a trigger is added to the
  rsyslog package that fires when other debs drop files into
  /etc/rsyslog.d.

  
  [Original Bug Description]
  rsyslog should reload its configuration when other packages drop configuration in /etc/rsyslog.d
