[Box Backup] Configurable syslog facility

Hi guys,

I've been using the Ubuntu package for 0.11rc2 from the Debian
maintainer's Ubuntu PPA and came across a snag.

It seems that he's gone ahead and changed the package to log to
LOG_DAEMON rather than LOG_LOCAL6 to fit in with how all the other
daemons log by default on Debian based distributions. 

Unfortunately for me as a user I'd still like it to log to local6, so my
only option is to recompile boxbackup thus defeating the purpose of a
distribution that supplies binary packages.

Is there a possibility of getting the syslog facility moved to the
config file so that Debian/Ubuntu can default it to LOG_DAEMON but I as
a user can change it to LOG_LOCAL6?

Apologies if this is a duplicate request or been discussed before.

Thanks,
