Bug Description

the regular and used log is systemd-journald - and should be. So there is no reason for rsyslog in an normal installation. Maybe rsyslog should be degraded to a suggest.

Cheers Alf

Assigning to Dimitri for a sanity check of whether we can drop rsyslog from ubuntu-minimal without impacting any of our core use cases.

Given that `init` is seeded, it means systemd and journald will be present on the system and provide a syslog compatible interface on the local system. For a minimal system that is sufficient.

Please note that persistent logs have not been enabled in xenial, thus ideally such a change should only be made from the current devel releases and up.

The question is, if we should be seeding it back into cloud images, server, and desktop.
