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.
