Since the package should not have been renamed (see my recent message on debian-devel) this is all moot, but what should really have been done was just to add the extra `k' to the existing links. Removing the user's configuration and replacing it with the default one isn't good.

The new syslog package with the `k' in its name should be REMOVED from the distribution and replaced with the old one with the `k'. I said a while ago that it should not be moved into it, and now that it has been it should be removed again immediately. Installing the new package will probably wipe out the user's configuration, including the syslog.conf !!
