I can confirm this.
To fix it edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/rsyslog.postinst and remove local before the variables.

This bug was fixed in the package rsyslog - 4.2.0-1ubuntu2

---------------
rsyslog (4.2.0-1ubuntu2) karmic; urgency=low

  * Prefix Vcs-* fields with "XSBC-Original-" as we don't use git for the
    Ubuntu packages.
  * Strip local from rsyslog's postinst as it shouldn't be used outside of
    functions; LP: #401060.
