What part of the release notes are you referring to? It might be useful to
reference that specifically, in addition to the pointer.

Nothing relevant is obvious here for rsyslogd:

  https://www.debian.org/releases/bookworm/amd64/release-notes/index.en.html

We probably want to avoid nasty surprises. I haven't upgraded my servers to
Bookworm yet, but scanning the release notes, nothing there would indicate
to me that my logging services were about to break.

David's suggestion of requiring orphan-sysvinit-scripts seems like a
sensible solution that will prevent outages. Let's posit, for instance,
that there's a hospital somewhere using Debian for some of their
infrastructure, and running sysvinit because they require reliable systems.
It would seem responsible to not arbitrarily let logging break on an
upgrade. That's not what people expect from Debian.
