OK, done:

bigone112:/local/tmp/home:czanik:branches:Base:System/syslogd # osc sr
created request id 39390
bigone112:/local/tmp/home:czanik:branches:Base:System/syslogd # cd
../syslog-ng/
bigone112:/local/tmp/home:czanik:branches:Base:System/syslog-ng # osc sr
created request id 39391

/var/run/syslog-ng is removed from the syslog-ng package and created on
demand by /etc/init.d/syslog. Also added some patches to syslog-ng from
git, which were made for the openSUSE version of syslog-ng 2.0.9 and now
accepted by upstream.
