So, maybe, instead of dropping the "Provides syslog" thing from journald, maybe we should add an explicit "syslog-files" dependency (or something named like that) and then make the classic syslog implementations provide that and the packages which actually need /var/log/messages pull that it?

So why there are files in /var/log and there is not obvious package, which creates them (unless you want to guess by name)? Shouldn't all package, which creates log in /var/log have some virtual provide to make it obvious? Why not do it properly/consistently?
Why a virtual provides, can't they just %ghost their log files?
