I do not see the above line in my logs, are you actually seeing this? If
so, do you know what is causing it to appear?

I think this should be added. I actually locally added it to my own
logcheck rules.

Agreed, should be ignored by logcheck, but still used for
metrics/reports or whatever. This change only removes the lines from
logcheck reports.
