Oh, yupp, forgot to mention that. The systemd RPM includes such a
drop-in file for now, though I believe that we should move that to the
rsyslog RPM proper.

Another new thing that's important to do to hook a syslog implementation
in properly is create a symlink from syslog.service to the service of
the syslog implementation. That way activation of syslog.socket will
spawn the right service. In the Fedora rawhide RPM i hacked things into
shape for now by just symlinking that to rsyslog.service unconditionally
but in the long run this should move into the [Install] section of
rsyslog.service itself.
