My point and the issue the problem in fact should address is that - given the 
tmpfiles.d behaviour as follows in man -S5 tmpfiles.d:
...
Files in /etc/tmpfiles.d override files with the same name in /usr/lib/tmpfiles.
and /run/tmpfiles.d. Files in /run/tmpfiles.d override files with the same name 
in
/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d. Packages should install their configuration files in
/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d. Files in /etc/tmpfiles.d are reserved for the local 
administrator,
who may use this logic to override the configuration files installed by vendor
packages. All configuration files are sorted by their filename in lexicographic 
order,
regardless of which of the directories they reside in. If multiple files 
specify the same
path, the entry in the file with the lexicographically earliest name will be 
applied. All
other conflicting entries will be logged as errors.
...

Considering this, the /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/00rsyslog.conf file in line 6 
(delivered by rsyslog 8.16.0-1ubuntu3 package) to my perception is derived as 
effective line for /var/log, the /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/var.conf file line 14 
delivered by systemd
in the 229-4ubuntu10 package will cause the logging. I think since that is an 
out-of-the-box setting to us, I would hereby request a discussion of the topic 
with decision to be taken among systemd and rsyslogd that ONE of the two 
parties is delivering a tmpfiles config only.

Thanks.
