Two conditions:

a) SYSLOG_DAEMON from etc/sysconfig/syslog isn't set to syslogd

b) It is empty or sbin/${SYSLOG_DAEMON} is not an executeable.

If that's the case we set replace_syslog=yes

Exactly what I would expect!

Whichever is installed last is the one that appears in
/etc/sysconfig/syslog

NO!
*if* there is a line SYSLOG_DAEMON=rsyslogd in /etc/sysconfig/syslog *and*
/sbin/rsyslogd exists and is executable, then do *nothing*

Which is what happened in my case.
