Bug Description
At the moment, we have three main log files in /var/log/maas:
- maas.log
- maas-django.log
- pserv.log
maas.log is an obvious name. It's where MAAS logs — great! What's maas-django.log? What's pserv.log? Why do I have to care?
The answers are:
- maas-django.log is where the WSGI container logs when things go wrong.
- pserv.log is where maas-clusterd and all its services log when Twisted blows up (among other things).
The names are confusing at best and obfuscatory at worst. We should rename them — suggested names are region-debug.log and cluster-debug.log respectively — or even *combine* them into one maas-debug.log.

lp:~allenap/maas/regiond renames them thus:
maas-django.log -> regiond.log
pserv.log -> clusterd.log
That includes packaging changes.
