Could you, please, add some directives (maybe commented out) to my.cnf
showing how to configure errorlog and add a comment about logging to
syslog? Now it is not obvious how is it configured - you provide
logrotate configuration for rotation of mysql.err and I've had to look
at mysql docs to check how to generate this log. I thing it would be
sufficient to add 

#log-error       = /var/log/mysql/mysql.err

near 

#log-slow-queries       = /var/log/mysql/mysql-slow.log

and maybe a notice, that that isn't nessessary because of syslog
configuration.

Regards,

Richard.
