Incorrect question. It doesn't send them there.

Reformulate.

(syslogd puts the messages in /var/log/messages and other places).

Correct question: how can I find the section of the manpage of pppd that
tells me all about logging?

Answer: man pppd /log


debug Enables connection debugging facilities. If this
option is given, pppd will log the contents of all
control packets sent or received in a readable
form. The packets are logged through syslog with
facility daemon and level debug. This information
can be directed to a file by setting up /etc/sys
log.conf appropriately (see syslog.conf(5)).
