Hmm, I suspect that if the user modified the busybox /etc/syslog.conf,
opkg would leave their version behind with a different filename,
rather than blindly removing a user edited conffile, but of course the
new one in /etc/default wouldn't include any of the old user
customizations.  I'll look into this a bit more closely.  Thanks.
