 So, something like:
    start_daemon | while read line; do mylog $line; done
 with:
    mylog() { logger -p ... $* }

 But it might as well support *both* console and syslog, perhaps via
 LSB (console output can be made less verbose via configuration):
    . /lib/lsb/init-functions
    mylog() {
        logger -p ... $*
        log_action_begin_msg $*
        log_action_end_msg
    }
