b/ Move /dev/xconsole to run and turn /dev/xconsole into a symlink
The latter b/ will require updates to the local copies in
/etc/tmpfiles.d/ and /etc/rsyslog.d/
They would look like this now:
$ cat /etc/rsyslog.d/xconsole.conf
daemon.*;mail.*;\
      news.err;\
      *.=debug;*.=info;\
      *.=notice;*.=warn    |/run/xconsole
$ cat /etc/tmpfiles.d/xconsole.conf
# Type Path     Mode UID  GID  Age Argument
p /run/xconsole 0640 root adm
L /dev/xconsole -    -    -    -   /run/xconsole

And you need to drop BindPaths=-/dev/xconsole from rsyslog.service again.

Thanks, I had edited the service file in /usr/lib/systemd/system
accordingly.  Unfortunately you forgot to apply that change to rsyslog's
debian/rsyslog.service, and so rsyslogd failed to start again after
upgrading to 8.2310.0-3.

Argh, sorry. Will fix immediately. Not sure why I missed that...

The NEWS item looks fine to me, though.

Thanks.
