Public bug reported:

systemd journald configuration in /usr/lib/systemd/journald.conf.d/syslog.conf 
enforces duplication of the logs into rsyslog with:
ForwardToSyslog=yes

$ cat /usr/lib/systemd/journald.conf.d/syslog.conf
# Undo upstream commit 46b131574fdd7d77 for now. For details see
#  http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-November/025550.html

[Journal]
ForwardToSyslog=yes

journald has limits it can enforce, preventing disk-full issues, while
rsyslog does not discriminate and just logs everything.

The expectation that journald has limits is well-known in the community
and folks will activate trace log level in their snaps (for example)
without considering it could lead to logs filling the free disk space in
the underlying system.

Thank you!
