What I don't know, and don't think anyone on this list knows, is why
*Debian* chose to toss the human-readable separate text log files away
in favor of the systemd monolithic binary journal.
The bug that documents rsyslog moving from priority: 'important' to
to 'optional' (which I think must have been the change which resulted
in rsyslog not being installed by default from Bookworm onwards) is
<https://bugs.debian.org/1018788>.
The rationale offered there is "I want to avoid that log data is stored
twice on disk."
The bug also references an earlier 2021 thread on debian-devel@:
<https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2021/11/msg00179.html>. That
thread did not attract much discussion, IMHO.
