Could we change it to parse /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf instead?
This should be pretty much the format it expects.

Failing that, if we really need to hardcode, these seem useful:

/var/log/auth.log
/var/log/boot.log
/var/log/dpkg.log
/var/log/kern.log
/var/log/mail.log
/var/log/syslog
/var/log/Xorg.0.log

Xorg.0.log isn't from syslog, so perhaps that one should be hardcoded either
way?
