Title:
  Duplicate line for path "/var/log" warning is shown when rsyslog is
  installed

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  On an snappy 15.04 stable system I see in the logs:
  systemd-tmpfiles[958]: [/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/var.conf:14] Duplicate line for path "/var/log", ignoring.

  Bug 1434295 mentions this, but reports that systemd fails to start.
  This bug is about preventing systemd from displaying this in the logs.
  Looking at the snappy system, I'm not sure why it is doing that:

  $ cat /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/var.conf
  #  This file is part of systemd.

  L /var/run - - - - ../run

  d /var/log 0755 - - -

  Perhaps this is a bug in systemd?
