Bug Description

This has been reported without any feedback to <email address hidden>.

Although minor, there is an issue in the man page for current rsyslogd package in Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS.

Regarding "-d" option, man page says:

------
  -d Turns on debug mode. Using this the daemon will not
proceed a fork(2) to set itself in the background, but opposite to
that stay in the
              foreground and write much debug information on the
current tty. See the DEBUGGING section for more information.
------

This is a lie. Using the "-d" option alone will still fork rsyslog to background.
