Bug#1084924: The system-log-daemon virtual package

I'm inclined to say logging should be a system facility and nothing
that a "normal" package should depend on. Then if I *don't* want
logging, I could just remove that facility and even installing
packages that would usually use logging wouldn't pull it back in.

The expectation would be that debian-installer would set up logging in
normal cases. Same for containers etc.

Packages should only depend on logging (system-log-daemon or whatever
incantation) if they specifically do something with logging, like
fail2ban and the like.
