I concur. pkg info provides details of *currently installed* packages,
whereas the information in syslog yields a *history*.
This arrangement seems eminently reasonable to me.
It all seems a bit of a storm in a teacup anyway, given that the logging
can be directed to another file or turned off altogether, depending on
requirements.
My vote: Maintainers, thanks for your efforts and please keep it as it is.
