If you want to build a proper debian package, please use the packaging/debian/3.5 branch from my repository: https://github.com/algernon/syslog-ng/tree/packaging/debian/3.5
Ah, that explains what happened :)
Problem is, I'm building 3.6 (alpha-alpha-0.00) :-)
The 3.5 branch should work for that, just update the submodule and bump the version in debian/changelog, and you're good to go =)
Anyway, with the historical debian/ tree in place, it's remarkable how easy it was to get the source to (sort of) build and run. It did not build separate -core and other packages, just one big fat syslog-ng deb-file, but, after some changes to the config file and restoring a few files from a real syslog-ng package, it does (sort of) run.
Yeah, it has its advantages, indeed. I plan to make the debian packaging configurable, so you'll be able to build a single fat package instead of -core and -mod-* ones, in a simple way. -- |8]
