Hmm... Why are some of the syslog logs named with the redundant suffix
"log", and others without?

I'd prefer something more like this be the default:

# standard logging
*.info;kern.debug;cron.notice;mark.debug	/dev/console
*.notice;kern.info;auth,mail.err;user.none	/var/log/messages

# immeadiate warnings
*.alert;kern.warn;daemon.warn;user.none	root,operator
*.emerg					*

# note, debug should not be world readable
#
*.debug					/var/log/debug

# note, auth should not be world readable
#
auth.debug				/var/log/auth

cron.debug				/var/log/cron
daemon.debug				/var/log/daemon
kern.debug				/var/log/kern
lpr.debug				/var/log/lpr
mail.debug				/var/log/mail
news.info				/var/log/news
user.debug				/var/log/user
uucp.info				/var/log/uucp

local0.debug;local1.debug;local2.debug;local3.debug;local4.debug;local5.debug;local6.debug;local7.debug	/var/log/local
