Public bug reported:

Steps to reproduce (time senstive, once lxd image is updated with
4ubuntu17, I expect this won't work)

lxc launch ubuntu:x test
lxc exec test -- ls -ld /var/log  # shows 775 perms
lxc exec test -- apt update
lxc exec test -- apt-cache policy systemd
lxc exec test -- apt install systemd
lxc exec test -- ls -ld /var/log  # shows 755 permissions

straceing the apt install shows no chmod calls to /var/log (only
/var/log/apt.log, as you'd expect)

This means syslog cannot write new files in /var/log, and had broken
some production logging for us as a result.
