Comment 18 for bug 1748147

> so rsyslogd's 00rsyslogd.conf filename need to be changed to var.conf and target should be /etc/tmpfiles.d/ instead of /var/lib/tmpfiles.d/

This doesn't seem right to me. The point of the use of /etc/tmpfiles.d/ is for local sysadmin override, not an override from a different package. Having different packages use different directories will just lead to a mess.

I'm also doubtful about changing debhelper's behaviour in a stable release when this isn't really a bug in debhelper in the first place. Can this be fixed differently in the stable releases - by adjusting maintainer scripts more directly, for example?
