Dear Chris Packham,

Thanks for this new version, a few comments below.

You can probably group is with the BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX_SHOW_OTHERS used
for sysklogd.

Indentation should be done with one tab in the init script.

And use "printf" here rather than "echo -n". We changed this in all
init scripts about a week ago or so. The reasoning is that printf is
POSIX, while echo -n is specific to certain shells only.

Using echo here is fine.

If it's locally computed, use a sha256.

Please indicate the version of the license (GPLv2, GPLv2+, GPLv3,
GPLv3+, etc.).

When there are autoconf options associated to certain optional
dependencies, we generally prefer to have them handled in one block
like this:

ifeq ($(BR2_PACKAGE_LIBESTMP),y)
SYSLOG_NG_DEPENDENCIES += libesmtp
SYSLOG_NG_CONF_OPTS += --enable-<something>
else
SYSLOG_NG_CONF_OPTS += --disable-<something>
endif

See above: don't only disable when not available, but also explicitly
enable when available.

Ditto.

Ditto.

This seems a bit weird. What needs to be uninstalled ?
