Another option which seems to work, is to "systemctl stop syslog.socket syslog.service" in rsyslog.preinst of the new version. Then let dpkg remove the symlink and d-s-h (re)create it in postinst. The only downside of this approach is, that rsyslog will be down for quite a while and not log any messages during the dist-upgrade. -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
