Package: rsyslog
Version: 8.2302.0-1
Severity: wishlist
According to
https://lists.debian.org/debian-backports/2023/02/msg00008.html
it seems that people might be (rightly or wrongly) relying on the old
timestamp format, and the ability to read messages from /var/log/messages.
I think it would be more obvious that these are intentional changes if
there was a NEWS entry for the bullseye -> bookworm (and therefore
bullseye -> bullseye-backports) upgrade.

Unfortunately I didn't get around to it for the bookworm and I think the
ship has sailed now. Sorry for that.
At least we have this documented in the release notes
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#rsyslog-creates-fewer-logfiles
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#rsyslog-timestamp-change-affects-logcheck
Closing the bug report at this point.
