Hi Sebastien.

I wasn't attempting to fix the fundamental issue, just to modify the
upstream default enough to avoid users seeing error messages for
log-files that are never going to be found on Ubuntu systems.

I agree with your implication that the design adopted upstream that
causes this feels flawed, but I think that is something that should be
dealt with by upstream since it looks like it'll need significant
changes.
