reassigning to Ultrabug since I stepped down as co-maintainer of rsyslog

Hi, I think to remember a discussion about this kind of matter and logrotate for example. The common stand was not to add yet another USE flag but install the harmless file unconditionally.

This matter has been discussed on gentoo-dev quite some time ago.

Cheers mate
