Public bug reported:

In attempting to apply CIS security guidelines onto an Ubuntu system it
was found that changing the log files in /var/log to 640, that on a
reboot cloud-init would reset the permissions to 644. As long as cloud-
init can write to the file it should be ok to alter the permissions
without issue.
