as it seems the docs has not yet been updated. you can find more
information about this feature in the mailing list archives starting at
this thread:

https://lists.balabit.hu/pipermail/syslog-ng/2009-March/012638.html

and this:

https://lists.balabit.hu/pipermail/syslog-ng/2009-April/012858.html

The way it works is as follows:

source aaa { file("/var/log/apache/error.log" default-facility(daemon)
default-priority(error)); };

This means that all lines that do not begin with a syslog header (<NNN>
where NNN is the syslog PRI value), will get "daemon.error" instead of
the earlier hard-coded "user.notice".
