First few comments:

- the init script enables the rsyslogd by default in runlevels 2 3 4 5. This is
not OK if we are not immediately replacing the old syslogd with rsyslog. Or do
we want to replace it immediately?

- the rsyslogd binary links to libmysqlclient which then pulls openssl and other
libraries. I'm not sure this is desirable as that means that basically every
system installed will have to be installed with the mysql package. Would it be
possible to compile rsyslogd twice (once with and once without mysql support)
and put the mysql-enabled one in a subpackage? It would have to be named
differently of course. The init script could then switch between the two
binaries. If the mysql-enabled one was installed it would be run and if not the
regular one would be run.
