Ok, this somehow got messed up.
This is not a bug in systemd, but rather an interaction issue between
syslog-ng and rsyslog.

Please purge the rsyslog and syslog-ng package and make sure any
dangling /etc/systemd/system/syslog.service* symlinks are removed.

Then re-install rsyslog.

After that, rsyslog should work properly. You can double-check if the
syslog.service symlink is pointing correctly at
/lib/systemd/system/rsyslog.service.

There is already as similar bug report for rsyslog [1] which basically
deals with the same problem.

I'm re-assigning this to syslog-ng-core.

In the end we need to find a way how we can transfer the syslog.socket
symlink between packages when moving from rsyslog to syslog-ng and vice
versa.
