users-and-groups has the following two entries:
klog

    Used by klogd, the kernel logger.

syslog

    Used by syslog, the general purpose logger.

This information is not correct on Debian. Debian does not use such a
group or user.

Cheers,
Michael

I think Michael is right.  TTBOMK these users never existed in Debian.
