The problem seems to be much more complex then I thought before. :(

The systemd integration for busybox-syslog was introduced by commit cf3618f9a57e46fb78d5be35d473e2dd5290e961.

The do_install stage got among others this line:

  ln -sf /dev/null ${D}${systemd_unitdir}/system/syslog.service

I believe this was made to avoid a package error like this:

  ERROR: Function failed: SYSTEMD_SERVICE_busybox-syslog value syslog.service does not exist

But if another syslog alternative (rsyslog or syslog-ng) will do the same this leads to another error:

  ERROR: The recipe busybox is trying to install files into a shared area when those files already exist. Those files and their manifest location are:
   /home/sledz/work/hipos-dfe.fido/build-closed/tmp-glibc/sysroots/himx0294/lib/systemd/system/syslog.service

So what is th right way to bring a systemd service file and update-alternatives together???
