Did you happen to notice that rsyslog became the default syslog daemon
with the release of Lenny?  That was Feb 14, 2009, over 4 years ago.
Your system went through 3 distribution upgrades before you noticed.

There was no "syslog" virtual or metapackage.  The Lenny upgrade release
notes had instructions for manually replacing syslogd with rsyslog.  It
could not be done automatically.  I guess you missed this with Lenny,
and Debian assumed everyone did it, omitting this from subsequent
release notes.
