Public bug reported:

During the first start of isc-dhcp-server (using the systemd service
unit), a blank dhcpd.leases file is created (presumably owned by
root:root).  dhcpd starts successfully (and then exits due to no subnet
definitions, that's expected).

Attempting to start the service again fails with 'Can't open
/var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases for append' (the dhcpd.leases file ownership
is now dhcpd.dhcpd), and apparmor logs a denial of the dac_override
capability.

Removing the leases file repeats this process (first start works as
expected, future ones do not).
