systemd has an issue in regard to vacuuming remote journals: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/2376 - this affects 18.04 as this version still has this problem.

Steps to reproduce on "Description: Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS":

root@1:~# du -hs /var/log/journal/remote/
8.6G /var/log/journal/remote/
root@1:~# journalctl -D /var/log/journal/remote --vacuum-size=100M
root@1:~# du -hs /var/log/journal/remote/
8.6G /var/log/journal/remote/

Would it be possible to backport this trivial patch https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/13924 into 18.04?
