Package: sysklogd
Version: 1.4.1-19
Severity: normal

Making /var/log/kern.log not world-readable is impractical, and only
provides a false notion of security, since the same information from this
file can be obtained by users by means of monitoring dmesg output.

OTOH, users can't do useful things like "tail -f" that file, etc.
