The problem here is, that "system-log-daemon" is kinda weakly defined.
[1] simply says:
"system-log-daemon a daemon that provides a logging facility for
other applications"
Certainly journald provides a "logging facility for other applications"
It doesn't say anything about syslog(), /dev/log, the persistence of log
files, the naming, say /var/log/{messages,syslog,...}
