Justification: causes user configuration loss

After purging the package, I discovered my syslog ceased to work. I
found a dangling symlink

/etc/syslog.conf -> /etc/syslog-on-battery.conf
This causes sysklog stop working at restart and user unable to restore again 
his old
configuration file in anyway. At least keep the user original
configuration in a safe place is mandatory.

Agreed. This is definitely a problem.

It would be better avoiding
completely to upset user configuration in that way IMHO.

I agree that it would be nice -- but it's impossible. :/ Anyway, this configuration modification is only done on the administrator's request (lm-syslog-setup), so he must have agreed to the modification. The problem here is that the original config is not restored on uninstall, as would be expected.

Thanks for reporting, I'll have it fixed in the next release!
