Comment 4 for bug 1010625

Thanks Craig. It looks like you've identified the underlying cause of the problem.

I've read bug 794727. I think that marking this bug as a duplicate will conflate three issues:

1) The change in the rsyslog package to stop logging to /var/log/messages (intentional, so nominally Won't Fix).
2) The request for a symlink supplied by the rsyslog package to reduce user confusion (Wishlist).
3) Upstream logwatch assuming messages for a bunch of services, which then doesn't work due to the change in the rsyslog package to stop logging to /var/log/messages (I'd say this is Medium, since the logwatch package is directly not working as upstream intended).

I think it would be better to track these related issues separately for now - especially as the first seems contentious to some, is attracting lots of "me too" comments, and thus could possibly increase confusion as it won't be clear which of these three issues comments refer to.
