Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: sysklogd

1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System
-> About Ubuntu.

Description:    Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS
Release:        8.04

2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy
packagename' or by checking in Synaptic.

sysklogd:
  Installed: 1.5-1ubuntu1
  Candidate: 1.5-1ubuntu1

3) What you expected to happen

I am expecting /etc/syslog.conf lines like

local1.*                        /var/log/amavislog

to cause syslogd-listfiles to print out the name of the log file in
question (ie. /var/log/amavislog)

4) What happened instead

syslogd-listfiles does *not* list the log file if a space is at the end
of the pertinent syslog.conf line.  If the space is removed, then it
*is* listed.  This seems to be parsing error by syslogd-listfiles, as
all variants of syslog that read /etc/syslog.conf are happy to ignore
whitespace at the end of lines as far as I know.
