Details

The latest version of syslog-ng installs a bunch of files into the /etc directory that have very generic names ("modules.conf", "scl.conf", etc.), and it's really not obvious what these files do and whom they belong to. I think it's customary to install those files into a subdirectory in such a case, i.e. /etc/syslog-ng.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Implemented
Additional comments about closing:  config files are now in /etc/syslog-ng/ in syslog-ng 3.2.2-1

I didn't touch the /usr/share/include stuff: upstream puts them there and scl.conf reference these directories.

While I am at it ... a path like "/usr/share/include/scl/syslogconf/README" is really bizarre, too. I don't any other package in ArchLinux that installs files into "/usr/share/include". Shouldn't this directory be called "/usr/share/syslog-ng"?
