I used 'grep -rl syslog source-tree'. :)  

Depending on $syslog might still make sense even if the service do not
use syslog, if it interact with the kernel in a way that might
generate syslog messages.  Also, I am aware of the watchdog service
which want to start before any service might try to get that by asking
to start before syslog is operational, and having all daemons start
after syslog make this easier.

Happy hacking,
