Well, except for the problem noted by Stefan that we aren't guaranteed
that rsyslog's syslog user has the same uid/gid as sysklogd's syslog
user.  This isn't an operational problem (rsyslog will re-chown the
files it writes to), but any files that sysklogd owned that rsyslog
doesn't care about could be left with an unclaimed uid.

Regardless, I'll shortly attach a debdiff, assuming that the above case
is acceptable losses.
