I was on the verge of suggesting as much.. :) The way I understand it, klogd exists to take the kernel's logs (printk function in the kernel) and shovel them off to syslog for later thought. I think you'll find you had nothing of type kernel.* coming through to syslog. Out of interest, I had problems after dist-upgrading from stable+secure to testing, using syslog-ng. In the end I nuked both sysklogd and syslog-ng (which took long enough, various things trampling on each other in /etc/init.d), rebuild sysklogd from source and reverted back to it from -ng. Ho hum.
