# In wheezy we ship the syslog.service symlink directly in the package, in
# jessie we use init-system-helpers to create it dynamically in postinst.
# During the upgrade there is a time frame when the symlink does not exist.
# If systemd is reloaded at this point, it loses track of the rsyslogd process.
# To work around this problem, create a (runtime) copy of the syslog.service
# symlink before the upgrade and remove it again afterwards. See #724796
