Binary package hint: rsyslog

Looks like this was missed in the move to upstart.

This function was called in init.d/rsyslog start:

create_xconsole() {
        if [ ! -e /dev/xconsole ]
        then
                mknod -m 640 /dev/xconsole p
                chown root:adm /dev/xconsole
                [ -x /sbin/restorecon ] && /sbin/restorecon /dev/xconsole
        fi
}

I can't find any reference to it now. If this is old school then it should be removed from the config.
