Hm, this looks like the syslog.service symlink is missing.
Do you have a symlink like this:

ls -la /etc/systemd/system/syslog.service
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Sep 28 02:46
/etc/systemd/system/syslog.service -> /lib/systemd/system/rsyslog.service

This symlink should be created by rsyslog.postinst, when
deb-systemd-helper enable rsyslog.service
is run.

Do you have the dpkg history, from which versions you upgraded rsyslog from?

For some time (in the wheezy package) we shipped the syslog.service
symlink directly in the package, and in jessie we switched to
dynamically enabling the service via dh-systemd/init-system-helpers.

Maybe something was broken in the intermediate versions of rsyslog with
older versions of init-system-helpers.
