Alright, then maybe a -legacy or some such package, or just a really
stern warning at the start of all the -legacy stuff saying "this is
legacy, you shouldn't be using it", or just don't distribute it at all
(my personal favorite).

Well, syslog-ng, at least, works just fine in that role.  Of course, if
the kernel is changed to provide a link that's just empty then anything
will work.  So, I don't think util-vserver needs to or should care about
it.
