The format of the syslog.conf files is different between busybox and sysklogd.
Use the alternatives method to ensure we get the correct config file for
any specific configurations.

This commit fix [BUGID #482]
Two issues cause bug 482:
- firsty, there are two version of syslog: sysklogd and busybox.
the busybox one is directly installed as /etc/init.d/syslog,
and the sysklogd one is installed by update-alternative. the
update-alternative will thus fail because the /etc/init.d/syslog
(busybox one) already exist and not a link. so the correct way
is to install busybox one by update-alternative, the layout will be:
/etc/init.d/syslog.busybox
/etc/init.d/syslog.sysklogd
/etc/init.d/syslog -> syslog.busybox or
/etc/init.d/syslog -> syslog.sysklogd
- secondly, sysklogd default conf is not comply with poky. Its dir /var/adm/
does not exist. Check the debian /etc/syslog.conf and find it is more
sophiscated and suitable, so port /etc/syslog.conf from debian.
