Package: kactivitymanagerd
Version: 5.12.1-1
Severity: important
Similar (but nowhere near as bad as) bug #805399, ActivityManager is
logging files I access to the systemd journal & syslog. Some examples:

while hopefully the database itself is in my home director and
mode go-rw, the same can't be said for syslog and journal. This violates
user privacy on a multi-user system as the sysadmin is expected to read
syslog, but respect the privacy of $HOME. In addition, syslog and
journal are available to members of group adm, who may not have root.
From the journal, it appears that kactivymanagerd may be speweing this
to stdout, which is ultimately being picked up by systemd (I think
that's what _TRANSPORT of stdout means):
