I stand corrected. Yes you're absolutely right, that's 2 separate applets, with 2 separate initscripts for them included in busybox-syslogd package. I just cleaned up Provides/Replaces/Conflicts lines of busybox-syslogd package, so this conflict should be fixed. I also added a line to busybox-klogd to stop starting it when systemd is running.

It is not the init script, it is the busybox syslog implementation. For simplicity, it is one applet that does both syslog function and klogd function, and klogd function is not optional. In order to stop providing klogd, someone should write a patch for busybox (upstream, because I for one don't want to make debian-specific changes to busybox) to make klogd function optional, after which it will be possible to adjust initscript to run syslogd without klogd if systemd is running.

Er, are you sure?
I'm definitely not familiar with busybox code, but
* /etc/init.d/busybox-{syslogd,klogd} are separate scripts that run separate
processes:
USER PID %CPU %MEMVSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
root 1475 0.0 0.0 4812 420 ?Ss 09:57 0:00 /sbin/klogd
root 1478 0.0 0.4 13008 8632 ?Ss 09:57 0:00
/sbin/syslogd -C8192
* busybox {syslogd,klogd} --help suggests they're separate applets.
* busybox/sysklogd/Config.src has separate options for syslogd and klogd.
* the description for CONFIG_SYSLOGD says
When used in conjunction with klogd, messages from the Linux
kernel can also be recorded.
which implies it can be used without klogd.
* If I stop klogd, logger test still makes test appear in logread.
* if I do make allnoconfig then in make menuconfig I can enable
System Logging Utilities syslogd without klogd being turned on.
$ ./busybox --help | tail -3
Currently defined functions:
logread, syslogd

Control: tag -1 moreinfo Stefan Monnier monn...@iro.umontreal.ca (2013-11-20): Package: busybox-syslogd Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, As stated in the subject, systemd and busybox-syslogd are in conflict (via klogd, IIUC). I'm not completely uptodate on systemd, but AFAIK it does not provide syslogd functionality, so I'd like to keep running busybox-syslogd alongside systemd. It looks like the Conflicts in systemd was added in: | systemd (25-1) experimental; urgency=low … | * Add Conflicts on klogd, since it doesn't work correctly with the | kmg→/dev/log bridge.
