The worst case is that the boot process will not be logged, which is the
situation with sysvinit. :)

After some googling, it seems it's supported:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/commit/?id=c31e14954b158351b11f886332229a61fff2e5d1

The only needed change is to provide an LSB header in rc.syslog-ng like
this:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=630401#c7

OTOH if you touch syslog-ng, I would first bump it to the latest
version, we're shipping 2.x, while the latest one is 3.1.1.

To sum up: it does not work out of the box because the LSB header is
missing to declare syslog-ng provides syslog, but that's easy to fix.
Given that it's not part of the default install and I never needed
syslog-ng myself, it's a low priority for me to fix it, but you're
welcome to do so - and if you have problems, I'm happy to help.
