It does install its own klogd symlink, but its S02klogd script does not
get installed because BR2_PACKAGE_SYSKLOGD is selected, so it won't be
started.
I just checked: the same goes for rsyslog (busybox klogd link gets
installed). So it should be okay for sysklogd, too?

The sysklogd logger utility; configure has an option:
  --without-logger        Build without extended logger tool, default:
enabled

In case of the logger utility both busybox link (/usr/bin/logger) and
sysklogd binary (/bin/logger) get installed.
