Only if you upgrade without a network connection. Like I say this
suggestion would only cover the cases where there was a desire to remove
rsyslog from the physical media (to make room for other stuff).

It's only an option tho'. I'm not suggesting it's a solution or not.

Not sure. I'll find out. It should be trivial really... i.e. all it
really needs is a journalctl -f command run on tty12. You could craft an
agetty command that worked like that easily enough, although there may
be something more elegant that is more efficient and cleaner.
