This has been fixed with:
rsyslog (8.14.0-2) unstable; urgency=medium
* Remove logging to /dev/xconsole from the default rsyslog configuration.
It is a rarely used feature and causes rsyslog to repeatedly retry if
there is noone reading from /dev/xconsole. Instead ship the configuration
as example files and add instructions to README.Debian how one can
re-enable support for xconsole. (Closes: #745492, #783687)
* Remove section about sysklogd from README.Debian, sysklogd is not really
relevant anymore nowadays.
* Ship an example file for logging to the console on tty8 which can be
dropped into /etc/rsyslog.d instead of having it as comment in
/etc/rsyslog.conf.

Title:
rsyslog doesn't create /dev/xconsole
Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
Fix Released
Status in rsyslog package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Binary package hint: rsyslog
Looks like this was missed in the move to upstart.
This function was called in init.d/rsyslog start:
create_xconsole() {
if [ ! -e /dev/xconsole ]
then
mknod -m 640 /dev/xconsole p
chown root:adm /dev/xconsole
[ -x /sbin/restorecon ] && /sbin/restorecon /dev/xconsole
fi
}
I can't find any reference to it now. If this is old school then it should be
re
moved from the config.
rsyslog:
Installed: 4.2.0-2ubuntu5
