Bug Description

The default logging setup for kea-dhcp4-server is, from /etc/kea/kea-dhcp4.conf, /var/log/kea-dhcp4.log. But the package creates /var/log/kea, with correct ownership.

We should either fix the config to log to /var/log/kea/kea-dhcp4.log (and check the other daemons for the same mistake), or perhaps switch to syslog logging, and then ship a reasonable rsyslog config snippet and configure log rotation (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/isc-kea/+bug/1863101).

In 2.2.0-1build1:

# grep /var/log /etc/kea/*.conf
/etc/kea/kea-ctrl-agent.conf: "output": "/var/log/kea-ctrl-agent.log"
/etc/kea/kea-dhcp-ddns.conf: "output": "/var/log/kea-ddns.log"
/etc/kea/kea-dhcp4.conf: "output": "/var/log/kea-dhcp4.log"
/etc/kea/kea-dhcp6.conf: "output": "/var/log/kea-dhcp6.log"

But:
root@l1:~# ll /var/log/kea*
total 0

drwxrwxr-x 1 root syslog 410 Feb 8 12:28 ../

root@l1:~# ll /var/log/kea* -d
drwxr-x--- 1 _kea _kea 0 Jan 18 14:37 /var/log/kea/

This bug was fixed in the package isc-kea - 2.2.0-2

---------------
isc-kea (2.2.0-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Athos Ribeiro ]
  * d/tests: add simple DEP8 smoke tests
  * Set default control sockets location to /run/kea (Closes: #1014929)
    (LP: #1863100)

  [ Paride Legovini ]
  * d/control: drop dependency on lsb-base (obsolete)
  * d/salsa-ci.yml: enable the autopkgtest job
  * d/kea-common.*:
    - Do not install keactrl. The keactrl script is not systemd-aware and not
      installed by the upstream .deb packages. Remove it from the Debian
      packaging
    - Leave handling of /var/*/kea directories to systemd. No need to create
      them in packaging as the systemd units will automatically create them
      with the right ownership and permissions
  * d/*.service:
    - Do not set KEA_LOGGER_DESTINATION. The variable is meant to tell the
      daemons where to log *before* their config files are loaded. If unset
      the default is stdout, which works well with systemd
    - Do not set KEA_PIDFILE_DIR. What we set it to corresponds to the
      defaults. The documentation says that KEA_PIDFILE_DIR "is intended
      primarily for testing"
  * d/rules: use the systemd journal for logging (Closes: #1016747)
    (LP: #2006522)
  * d/kea-doc.README.Debian: document how logging is done by default
  * d/tests/smoke-tests: check location of PID and lock files
