Package: rsyslog
Version: 4.4.2-1
Severity: normal
I assume that the hyphens in rsyslog.conf in front of some filenames
indicate that these files aren't synced after every message, but
there's no information about this in the manpage.

The rsyslog.conf(5) man page nowadays contains:
"
To selectively disable syncing for certain files, you may prefix the
file path with a minus sign ("-").
"
This should sufficiently cover this issue, so closing the bug report.
