Logging of output of cron jobs to syslog is not something I would think of being a good idea. There's a lot of potential for mischief there, if a user installs a cron task that tries to simulate "normal logs" an admin (or a tool that parses the logs) might be confused if this output was included (verbatim) into the logs. If a user wants to log to syslog he can provide his own task and make use of logger. In my opinion, this bug is not a bug (cron already Recommends: an mta) and supporting syslog output of cronjobs is not something we want to do.
