Well, the overlap with Busybox already exists, and that's why Busybox has:

BUSYBOX_DEPENDENCIES = \
	...
        $(if $(BR2_PACKAGE_SYSKLOGD),sysklogd) \

This way Busybox is installed *after* sysklogd, and Busybox
installation process is careful enough to not overwrite already
installed binaries.

However, klogd being removed from sysklogd, I'm not sure how this will
end up working: it is possible that Busybox will install its own klogd
symlink anyway.

What have you made selectable ?
