I think this bug is fixed with:
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/init-system-helpers.git;a=commitdiff;h=3416d0c8bdaa1ecce0c23710d950be5e91162065
(which landed in i-s-h 1.8, whereas the dependency in rsyslog 7.4.3-1 is
 on i-s-h ≥ 1.5, so it’s possible that Eric was using the old version of
 i-s-h).

Quite possible. I have looked at the git history, but I don’t see a
bugfix/commit that would obviously be related. This may be because we
don’t have a lot of information to go on, actually :).

Sounds reasonable. Let me know if you encounter problems with that
upgrade path.
