Sure, or they could not notice the syslog change in the rest of the
upgrade noise, and have anything that depended on the name break --
but nobody has complained about that happening.

Either 

a) None or a very small number of users are affected by the name change
   of a daemon.
b) Users are affected, but all have no problem with fixing their system.
   (By either changing it to use the new name, or installing a package,
   makes little difference.)
c) All users are so careful during upgrades that anyone affected
   noticed the change and did not let it happen. If you think this
   is the case, I have a debian-user list to sell you. ;-)
