Title:
  logspam about Duplicate line for path "/var/log"

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Similar to bug 1484027, but that's marked 'Fix released', so something
  must have regressed in the meantime.

  $ journalctl | grep "Duplicate line" | wc -l
  58

  $ grep "/var/log " /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/*
  /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/00rsyslog.conf:# Override systemd's default tmpfiles.d/var.conf to make /var/log writable by
  /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/00rsyslog.conf:d /var/log 0775 root syslog -
  /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/var.conf:d /var/log 0755 - - -

  
  Ideally I'd see at most one line about this in my logs.

  Thanks
