rsyslog 8.16.0-1ubuntu1 now includes a logcheck rule to specifically
ignore this problem. The changelog doesn't explain why the conflict is
being ignored instead of resolved.

Title:
  tmpfiles.d conflicting rules to manage /var/log

Status in rsyslog package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/00rsyslog.conf from rsyslog's package and
  /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/var.conf from systemd's package both try to manage
  the directory /var/log.

  rsyslog's file takes precedence but the duplicated rules cause this to
  be logged:

    systemd-tmpfiles[3679]: [/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/var.conf:14] Duplicate
  line for path "/var/log", ignoring.

  Also, both rules are different:

   $ grep '^d /var/log ' /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/{00rsyslog,var}.conf
   /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/00rsyslog.conf:d /var/log 0775 root syslog -
   /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/var.conf:d /var/log 0755 - - -
