It is in tools/orogen.

This is not a runtime, but a compile-time issue. If you deploy a logger with

   deployment 'logger_only' do
     add_default_logger
   end

then the logger typekit is NOT loaded in this deployment as there are no 
ports / properties that require it. Matthias and I discussed it and 
Matthias added the load_type specification to tell oroGen that this type 
is indeed needed in this deployment:

   deployment 'logger_only' do
     load_type '/logger/Annotations'
     add_default_logger
   end
