Anyone else got an opinion? Then, consider it done.

Pretty much, the only problem would be the 'undo' logs will be reset by
vsd-install (working on it), causing vsd-uninstall to only undo the syslog
change and nothing else. The other option would be to put:
local6.*
/var/log/vsd.log
in /etc/syslog.conf, restart syslog, and then append:
-p local6 -l 0
to the [s]vsd entries in xinetd and restart it. Its the -l argument that
determines how much information is sent to syslog, with 0 being very little and
4 absolutely everything.
