Title:
  log dir permissions are incorrect

Bug description:
  In ceilometer-common.postinst, permissions for the dir
  /var/log/ceilometer are set to 750.

  In http://docs.openstack.org/developer/ceilometer/install/manual.html
  it's stated to "Note Please make sure that ceilometer’s logging
  directory (if it’s configured) is read and write accessible for the
  user swift is started by."

  That means the perms need to be 770, not 750.

  This prevents parts of swift from running, where it uses ceilometer's
  egg to log info to ceilometer about usage.
