Well...
May I quote something:
Using Debian GNU you can be relatively sure that syslog files
! contain what they should - contrary to other unices where you can
! depend on syslog messages ending up in any file but not the one you
! would expect them. It seems that nothing is compiled to use the
correct syslog facility. Thus you'll get non-mail programs logging
to facility mail, mail progs logging to daemon or local1, and so
on. Debian's policy ensures that all programs log to the
appropriate facility.
Regards,
Joey
