This changelog says that:
* journald will no longer forward all local data to another running syslog
  daemon. This change has been made because rsyslog (which appears to be the
  most commonly used syslog implementation these days) no longer makes use of
  this, and instead pulls the data out of the journal on its own. Since
  forwarding the messages to a non-existent syslog server is more expensive
  than we assumed we have now turned this off. If you run a syslog server that
  is not a recent rsyslog version, you have to turn this option on again
  (ForwardToSyslog= in journald.conf).

This is going to break syslog-ng... So is it possible to patch journald.conf
and enable ForwardToSyslog in the package?

Thanks,
