That would only be possible if libz was moved to /lib (which I can't decide). Also, there are plugins for rsyslog (like mysql or postgresql support), which definitely require a mounted /usr, and those libs will surely not be moved to /lib. Right now, those plugins are in separate packages, so the rsyslog core package (minus libz) could be installed to /sbin. Problem is, that the LSB header is static (definitely a limitation of this spec!). What would be required, is dynamic dependencies (i.e. if plugin-foo is installe $remote_fs is require, otherwise $local_fs). I don't see, how I can achieve what you want (given the plugin nature of rsyslog) within our current limited init system.
