This is a design decision of upstream, introduced in 2015 (so,
before buster):
logger.c line 964ff:
/* note: we never re-generate the syslog header here, even if we
* generate multiple messages. If so, we think it is the right thing
* to do to report them with the same timestamp, as the user actually
* intended to send a single message.
