Bug description:
  Not sure where this bug should be, but Ubuntu SDK applications need
  write access to various /dev/log_* files. It seems rather odd that,
  for example, the ubuntu-calculator-app needs the following policy:

    /dev/log_main w,
    /dev/log_radio w,
    /dev/log_events w,
    /dev/log_system w,

  These rules are too lenient and presumably any app could spam/attack
  the system via these device files.
