Public bug reported:

we are debootstrapping a full bionic distribution into a directory.
After debootstrapping the permissions on /var/log are incorrect, causing
rsyslog to fail because it cannot write into the directory to create the
various files.

Also, in the postinst of the rsyslog package I see that systemd-tmpfiles is 
attempted to be used to create the files defined in 
/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/00rsyslog.conf, but from what I can tell this will never 
work because of the systemd-tmpfiles manpage:
       --create
           If this option is passed, all files and directories marked with f, 
F, w, d, D, v, p, L, c, b, m in the configuration files are
           created or written to. Files and directories marked with z, Z, t, T, 
a, and A have their ownership, access mode and security
           labels set.

Since the files are configured with type "z" only ownership, access mode
and security will be updated.
