Dear Maintainer,

I found various services do not work on a fresh bookworm installation.
They do on bullseye.

The services that do not work includes:
audit, kernel, postfix, sshd, sssd, stunnel, and systemd

This cause is the rsyslog removal. It caused /var/log/messages not to be
generated, and that made these services fail to retrieve /var/log/messages.

A workaround is to manually add configurations to direct logwatch to
journalctl, or to install rsyslog.

I expect these services to work out-of-box. A possible solution is to edit
default service configurations of logwatch to match with the defaults of the
other parts of Debian installation.
