So why not klogd? Not only messages to the console would get suppressed,
also oopses would get decoded if we'd run klogd.

See http://www.balabit.hu/static/syslog-ng/reference/reference.html 

 Example 3-5. Using the file() driver

  ....

  NOTE: on Linux, the klogd daemon reads kernel messages, and forwards them to
  the syslogd process. klogd preprocesses kernel messages and replaces
  addresses with symbolic names (from /boot/System.map). If you don't want to
  lose this functionality you'll have to run klogd with syslog-ng as well.
