Package: busybox-syslogd
Version: 1:1.22.0-19
Tags: patch
Please add systemd .service files to busybox-syslogd.
The attached files are taken from OpenEmbedded and
seem to work on my embedded device on Debian 9.
Thanks in advance!

What's the reason to provide these systemd services for busybox-syslogd?
In my view, busybox-syslogd can be used as a minimal syslogging service
on a bare minimal system without much else besides busybox itself.
On a system with systemd, systemd-journald is already running, and provides
far better logging services than busybox-syslogd, including kernel logging
and /dev/log redirection.
I don't really see the point in providing systemd .services for busybox-syslogd.
Thanks,

too, and to provide systemd service file for it.
Doing that now.
