I also commented this in the bug, but after playing with these a bit I'm
not convinced that init scripts should be managed by update-alternatives.
First, I don't see much reasoning why two syslog services should be
installed in parallel. Also, no other package or distro use this kind of
construction, AFAIK. So I'd avoid complication of the bbclasses for the
purpose of one package only.

If we really want to make these install in parallel I think we should just
name the files differently.


Thanks,
