Well, I feel a bit dumb, but I just noticed that I wasn't subscribed to
the ML! ;-)

So, for /dev/log issue, I think this has been handled in an appropriate
way.

For the configuration file, Apollon, you are right, we need a
configuration file for chroot and /dev/log support. Therefore, I have
just commited a proposed change where I strip down the configuration
file to only the needed bits. I was feeling uncomfortable to change the
defaults for maxconn, retries, conntimeout and others: upstream should
know better than us for those defaults and we don't want to maintain
them. So I have removed them. Tell me if you think that I am wrong.
