One easy fix would possibly be the following:
# debian/rsyslog.postinst
case "$1" in
configure)
adduser --system --group --no-create-home --quiet syslog || true
adduser syslog adm || true
+adduser syslog tty || true
I have tested it in a PPA, and it works just fine:
Preparing to unpack .../rsyslog_8.2001.0-1ubuntu1+test2020307b1_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking rsyslog (8.2001.0-1ubuntu1+test2020307b1) over (8.2001.0-1ubuntu1) ...
Setting up rsyslog (8.2001.0-1ubuntu1+test2020307b1) ...
The user `syslog' is already a member of `adm'.
Adding user `syslog' to group `tty' ...
==> Adding user syslog to group tty <==
Done.
