To me this does not seem a bug at all, at least not in fso-frameworkd
and thus I would just close it.

However, a possible "solution" would be to document the syslog need as a
Suggests:, something like:

 Description: freesmartphone.org Framework Daemon
  This packages provides the backend daemon of the freesmartphone.org software
  stack. It provides all telephone related features, such as accepting and making
  calls, receiving and sending SMS and other hardware specifics via a D-Bus
  interface to the user interface programs.
  .

  This package is part of the freesmartphone.org software stack
  and it is targeted for smartphones.

NB, just installing system-log-daemon does not activate frameworkd
logging, since you need to direct the logs to syslog (log_to in
/etc/frameworkd.conf).  For this reason, I would also provide a
README.logging file in /u/s/doc/fso-frameworkd/, including the
instructions for "alternate" logging Enrico provided at:

Any hints?

Thx, bye,
