Package: rsyslog
Version: 3.14.2-1
Followup-For: Bug #475303
Speaking as a user with scripts that parse my logfiles for me, I'd
say this change should at a bare minimum have been mentioned in a
changelog/NEWS file along with an explanation of how to revert it
(in terms clearly intelligible to users who have never previously
had a reason to learn the format of syslog configuration files).
Better, provide a low-priority debconf question where the options are
* [Default] NO, I never want to have to worry about this sort of
infrastructure nonsense, I want it to Just Keep Working™.
* YES, I can imagine a practical use for timestamps that are
accurate to the nearest millionth of a second and I'm
prepared to rewrite my scripts to handle them.
