Package: logwatch
Version: 7.4.0+svn20130529rev144-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

The syslogd service in logwatch seems to support some other syslogd than
rsyslogd, which is the default in Debian.

Attached are a perl script and a service configuration file which match
common logfile entries from rsyslogd.

Best,
Teemu
