I did find the entries in /var/log/daemon and /var/log/syslog. However
this is what threw me off before:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/server-options.html#option_mysqld_log

explicitly says:

Log errors and startup messages to this file. See Section 5.2.1, “The
Error Log”. If you omit the filename, MySQL uses host_name.err. If the
filename has no extension, the server adds an extension of .err.

So it seems that the syslog behavior is different from what
documentation says.


Yep, it's the syslog patch in OurDelta that does that, and intentionally so. (it comes from the Percona set of patches, and the same mechanism is used in any Debian based distro such as Ubuntu).

I think the bug in this case relates to the lack of documentation on the OurDelta site about this particular patch, which caught you unaware.
