Comment (by adamwill):

 "but we can check if system logging facility is working by looking into
 /var/log/{secure,messages}"

 that's the thing: this is what the criterion actually requires. in theory
 system logging could be implemented by some mechanism other than a daemon
 (though I can't think what, off the top of my head), and the criterion
 still satisfied. the key point is that the system logs should exist and be
 populated with the appropriate messages, so that's what the release
 criteria validation test case should check. Really, I think just a test
 case that says 'do an install, boot the installed system, check that
 /var/log/messages exists' (roughly, you can fill in the details :>) would
 be enough. I don't think it's necessary to look for some specific process
 to be running.
