Not sure I can parse this, but IIUC you are wondering whether logwatch is compatible with the journal. Not to my knowledge, no. But adding this should be fairly easy as the output of "journalctl" is a pixel-perfect copy of the original format, so where it works on /var/log/messages it should simply work on the output of journalctl and all should be good. Note however that with the capabilities of the journal it might be interesting to add journal support to logwatch that goes beyond mere compatibility. For example, tests such as "look for messages which are claimed to come from PID xyz but actually came from uvw" and suchlike would be really interesting to have. That information is not available in the /var/log/messages format however...
