I don't know WHY it was deprecated. The method they used in their script--of effectively removing all the scripts involved in the logging process (plus even the syslog binary)--is still valid. I have the same setup (with some additional modifications) on one of my kindles, from 3.2.1 to now 3.3 with no problems. Perhaps not having syslog was an issue for some in the hack community... I suppose if you rely on the whole debugOn thing, this would be a problem.

That said, I've run like this with no problems for ages and have had no use for syslog-ng running in the background. (It's an e-reader after all--I'm a linux sysadmin and I see no need for syslog to be running on my kindle.) Note: I only use launchpad, screensaver hack, kaffeine, & kinamp.

PS: I was sooo surprised when my 3.2.1 kindle didn't complain at all on the 3.3 update--I didn't roll back any of these changes before trying it.
