The changelog says this should work with newer kernels:

rsyslog (4.2.0-2ubuntu6) lucid; urgency=low

  * debian/rsyslog.rsyslog-kmsg.upstart:
    - Drop this additional job; kernel changes have meant that rsyslog
      may read from /proc/kmsg directly after dropping privileges.
      LP: #517773
  * debian/rsyslog.preinst:
    - Remove on upgrade 
  * debian/rsyslog.conf:
    - Restore to reading from /proc/kmsg

I'm running 2.6.32-12-generic #16-Ubuntu and it definitely does not work
there.  Even if it works in the latest kernels, this will be a problem
for upgrades from Karmic, because rsyslog gets restarted before the
kernel is upgraded.
