I think it's bad/surprising behaviour to automatically end up in a state
where the actually running configuration doesn't match the configuration
in /etc. That would lead to user surprises and/or regressions on reboot
or on a further package upgrade (to rsyslog in this case).

That sounds like the appropriate way to fix it to me.
