/dev/kmsg doesn't really give any useful information.  It was never used
for more than some exception information, but it required a complete
fhandler class on its own.  I wanted to get rid of the useless code.

Inetutils is an orphaned package (and rightfully so).

If you think you need inetutils and especially syslogd, I suggest
to take over maintainance of that package and tweak syslogd so it
doesn't require /dev/kmsg anymore.
