on second thought, i think this simpler patch would suffice for an
option to disable:

 }
 
 configure_fstab() {

this keeps the default behavior like it is now (remote syslogging only),
but makes it possible to disable remote syslogging by setting it to a
non-empty value other than "remote", where it will then use the the
syslog.conf from the chroot, so any needed customizations can be handled
there...

thoughts?
