From ​https://github.com/troglobit/sysklogd:

"Note: the project name remains sysklogd, which was a combination of the names of the two main daemons, syslogd and klogd. However, since v2.0 klogd no longer exists, kernel logging is now native to syslogd."

Since klogd was removed, the init script for sysklogd needs to be updated to reflect the removal. This should do it:
