Bug#775447: Does not update or remove /var/log/dmesg

[Ben Hutchings]

Package: systemd
Version: 215-8
Severity: minor

Since I switched to systemd as pid 1, /var/log/dmesg is no longer
updated.  I realise that it is not really needed because systemd
captures kernel messages and feeds them to the syslog daemon via
journald.

However, /var/log/dmesg is not removed either, and it took me a
little while to realise that I was looking at stale information
from the last initscripts boot.

Please arrange to either update or remove it when systemd is pid 1.

Ben.
