as non log-rotated log for boot time kernel messages.
- debian/dmesg.service: new service to write /var/log/dmesg

Title:
[FFe] /var/log/dmesg No Longer Being Updated
Status in rsyslog package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
[FFe]
* (re-)introduce a feature to ensure the initial (boot time) kernel
messages are preserved
* This existed up to Trusty (upstart) but was lost afterwards as it had
no systemd coutnerpart.
* It is a "new" feature since we have lacked it for so many releases and
worth - a hopefully simple - ack by the release Team
* It is not a new version or any change to the actual rsyslog code.
Instead it just adds a new service "dmesg" that will achieve what was
lost post trusty. Therefore the potential regression to the existing
function should be minimal, if anything the new service might hit
issues on some unexpected environments but atm that seems unlikely.
* It does not add/remove Dependencies nor modify build
* I ahve made upgrade/install tests as well as Ahasenack doing the same
on the MP that is linked.

After upgrading to Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid, /var/log/dmesg is no longer
updated after boot.
It appears that this was previously done via /etc/init/dmesg.conf
