It is more in the case where :
- The user has a custom S01logging script for rsyslog (also works for
all but busybox syslog)
- Busybox runs first, as rsyslog depends on it
- Busybox init is not enabled, so the package removes S01logging
- rsyslog is built, and as there is no S01logging, installs its
default one.
This is the bug to me, even though adding a custom init script is not
very likely.

Well, I meant it as a solution to the case above. If we have different
names for all of them, busybox's package will never remove another's
init script.
