I am not sure who owns the logs have any effect in this being nice. Actually, maybe you did not realize, but the logs that are written by rsyslog and tomcat are same log lines in different formatting. One might say, this is also ugly :)

But what is wrong with rsyslog writing logs as root:adm in Debian, and syslog:adm in Ubuntu? This is exactly how it works for most other Debian packages. For example check "jetty9". Nobody complains that 'jetty' does not own those logs.

If tomcat9 rsyslog config would miss fileOwner setting (in Debian also). This could work well for both Ubuntu and Debian.
