The current packages are very granular. You don't gain much by
re-packaging, at least this is what I think. If I am wrong, I am all
ears, as it should be fairly easy to change that at least for the
project-provided packages.
The reasons I'm thinking of a diffeent package are:
1. compile out everything possible (let it use the rsyslog packages if the
rsyslog package is included and the config is changed to need them)
2. change the default config file to something other than /etc/rsyslog.conf
3. include a very different default config file
4. changed binary name (something like logsend instead of rsyslogd)
looking at these.
#1 may not be that useful, I'll have to play around with things.
#2 is needed to reduce complexity and support #3
#3 is where a lot of the change comes in. I don't know if we change the main
queue type to direct or just shrink it down to something on the order of 100
entries, but changes like that that will make it use FAR less memory.
#4 is a pure social engineering play
