I have a facility (local5) which incorrectly uses alert (should have been info).

My config file includes

*.emerg   /var/log/00_emerg.log
*.alert     /var/log/01_alert.log
*.crit       /var/log/02_crit.log
*.err        -/var/log/03_err.log
*.warn     -/var/log/04_warn.log
local5.info -/var/log/local5.info

This causes all my "there's troubles" logs to have these messages.

1) Is my configuration concept just plain wrong?
    Should I be using rsyslog extension like

*.=emerg   /var/log/00_emerg.log
*.=alert     /var/log/01_alert.log
*.=crit       /var/log/02_crit.log
*.=err        -/var/log/03_err.log
*.=warn     -/var/log/04_warn.log
local5.info -/var/log/local5.info

2) what is the best was to have local5.alert messages go to /var/log/local5.info

Running on PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)"

rsyslogd  8.1901.0 (aka 2019.01) compiled with:
    PLATFORM:                arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf
    PLATFORM (lsb_release -d):
    FEATURE_REGEXP:                Yes
    GSSAPI Kerberos 5 support:        Yes
    FEATURE_DEBUG (debug build, slow code):    No
    32bit Atomic operations supported:    Yes
    64bit Atomic operations supported:    Yes
    memory allocator:            system default
    Runtime Instrumentation (slow code):    No
    uuid support:                Yes
    systemd support:            Yes
    Number of Bits in RainerScript integers: 64

Thanks for your help.
Any comments/suggestions welcome.

Sinerely,
