The Only thing I could do to get it working was to force v3.10.1-1:

 

# apt-get install syslog-ng=3.10.1-1

The following NEW packages will be installed:

  syslog-ng

0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Need to get 6,112 B of archives.

After this operation, 29.7 kB of additional disk space will be used.
