Hello,
In a Groovy LXD container, I repro'd the bug & then installed
7.5.4-0ubuntu3.2 and found out that the fix works as expected.
Similarly, in a Bionic LXD container, I repro'd the bug and installed
7.4.3+git20161207-2ubuntu1.4 and verified that the fix works as
expected.
Thank you!

First thank you for taking the time to file this bug and try to make
Ubuntu better.
The upstream patch you provided is straightforward. I am tagging this
bug as server-next to put it in our team's queue of work to be done.

** Description changed:
By default, logwatch performs a hostname lookup of every IP address
