Package: logcheck
Severity: wishlist
Currently syslog-summary is only enabled if it is installed and if it is
enabled in logcheck's conffile. I think enabling it by default if
syslog-summary is installed would be more sane. A new option -U
"Disable syslog-summary" should be added in the assumedly rare case
people want to disable it on the commandline although they installed
syslog-summary.
This change would only affect installations where both packages are
installed and in most cases people not wanting to use this logcheck
feature would not install the package syslog-summary. Letting the
minority of people who install both logcheck and syslog-summary although
they don't want this feature adapt their config should be preferable to
letting the majority adapt theirs.
In Debian most software is supposed to work just by installing it (init
scripts are started by default, apache modules are enabled by just
installing appropriate apache module packages ...) and I don't think
logcheck and syslog-summary should be an exception.
Regards
Carsten

I only just spotted this - on 11 Nov 2024 (approx 3 days after the
last message in this bug!), a new syslog-summary
was uploaded to debian (see https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/syslog-summary).
So im closing this bug against logcheck which asked to remove the
support - luckily no-one actioned it in the last few years!
If anyone reading thinks there is something to do in logcheck, please
open a new bug!
I'm cc'ing the syslog-summary maintainers in case they want to check
out marc's version, linked above
