I agree here. Most people expect restarting syslog to be
either /etc/init.d/syslogd restart or service syslogd restart.

I think if you are going obsolete the old syslog here, and this is a
one-for-one, drop-in replacement, keeping the same service names and the
same configuration file should follow POLS.

The process itself is compiled as syslogd per the upstream package.
