Comment 2 for bug 60715

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-6ubuntu3) dapper; urgency=low

  * Drop S18bootlogd from the ordinary boot process; it needs a writable
    /var/log and access to /dev/pts which means it would have to start so
    late that there'd be nothing worth logging. Nobody can ever remember
    this working in Ubuntu, and nobody's sure it even can work with usplash.
    Everything's still shipped, so those who want it can figure it out, it's
    just not tried by default.
