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.
