[leafnode-list] Reducing leafnode's output to syslog.

I'm running the Debian leafnode 1.11.3.rel-4 package and it runs fine,
but it's dumping far too much to my /var/log/syslog file. The last
rotation (syslog.0) contains 7,884,296 lines that grep fetchnews and
1926 that don't!
I had previously fiddled with the configuration, but for a while now
I've had "debugmode = 0" in the config file and I recently changed
"/usr/sbin/fetchnews" to "/usr/sbin/fetchnews -q" in the do-fetch-news
file (it's a Debian thing, called by the cron job) but most of my
syslog still consists of lines like this
...fetchnews[8277]: alt.religion.kibology: killed 72058
(<43941C4F.23F9 at mindspring.com>), already fetched before
whereas the /var/log/news/news.crit, news.err and news.notice files are
quite reasonable.
Have I missed something in the leafnode configuration, or do I need to
modify syslog.conf to cut this logging down?
Thanks,
Adam
