Package: rsyslog
Version: 3.22.0-1
Severity: minor

The version of rsyslogd that hit Testing yesterday has started
sending messages on restarts that lack a datestamp/hostname prefix.
Instead of the usual messages like this:

May 26 12:50:08 oempc kernel: imklog 3.20.5, log source = /proc/kmsg started.
May 26 12:50:08 oempc rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="3.20.5" 
x-pid="1578" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com";] restart

a restart now looks like this:

rsyslogd:  [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="3.22.0" x-pid="1897" 
x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com";] exiting on signal 15.
May 27 14:24:20 oempc kernel: imklog 3.22.0, log source = /proc/kmsg started.
rsyslogd:  [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="3.22.0" x-pid="2861" 
x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com";] restart
May 27 14:24:20 oempc rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="3.22.0" 
x-pid="2861" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com";] restart

I'm assuming this isn't an intentional change; it chokes my homebrew
log-monitor, and the /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/rsyslog regexp
won't be happy about it either.

(I have an unmodified rsyslog.conf.)
