So, maybe, instead of dropping the "Provides syslog" thing from
journald, maybe we should add an explicit "syslog-files" dependency (or
something named like that) and then make the classic syslog
implementations provide that and the packages which actually need
/var/log/messages pull that it?

So why there are files in /var/log and there is not obvious package,
which creates them (unless you want to guess by name)? Shouldn't all
package, which creates log in /var/log have some virtual provide to make
it obvious? Why not do it properly/consistently?
Why a virtual provides, can't they just %ghost their log files?



That would be the best of course, unfortunately: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#File_Dependencies

But may be YUM/DNF can be improved in this area
