Bug#761340: syslog stop working after v208 -> v215 upgrade (until next reboot)

[Michael Biebl]

Package: systemd
Version: 215-2
Severity: normal

After the upgrade from v208 -> v215, no more syslog messages show up in
/var/log/message and the other log files.

The reason most likely is that systemd moved the syslog socket to
/run/systemd/journal/dev-log (systemd-journald-dev-log.socket) and
replaced /dev/log with a symlink.
After the upgrade, /dev/log was still a regular file/socket.

We might need to create the /dev/log symlink manually on upgrades via
ln -sf /run/systemd/journal/dev-log /dev/log.
