This would make haproxy uninstallable on systems without rsyslog. For
example, on systems running syslog-ng. We provide a default
configuration that should work on most systems (rsyslog is the default
log daemon in Debian). You can either disable chrooting or configure
your favorite logging daemon to work in the chroot. I don't think there
is a universal solution.

Marking as wontfix as I do not intend to implement the possible
solutions (depending on rsyslog, disabling chrooting by default or
supporting all existing log daemons).
