Title:
  /var/log/lightdm permissions incorrect i386 & amd64

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  $ ls -ld /var/log/lightdm
  drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2011-10-28 21:19 /var/log/lightdm
  $

  probably should be chmod 1770; chgrp lightdm; like /var/log/gdm

  current permissions preclude creation of
  /var/log/lightdm/x-0-greeter.log when lightdm runs the greeter as can
  be seen from /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log:
