That would probably do it, then. In the future we could look at separating
the rsyslog package from the default logging configuration (as I a few
messages ago suggested to Bill as a possible solution for the
depends-on-/var/log/messages issue). Then, one could easily install the
rsyslog package and drop in a forwarder configuration without that
immediately turning on local logging. (Can't do this immediately without
disruption on upgrades, though).
