The Eoan Ermine has reached end of life, so this bug will not be fixed for that release

After a reboot this drops to 23 MiB. All logging config is stock except that logs rotate monthly, and the machine is not used as a syslog server. This is a very lightly loaded web and mail server, < 10 requests per hour. /var/log/journal/.../system.journal grows by 10-15 MiB per day, mostly logging automated attacks against SSH, SMTP, and random ports. The journal daemon uses more memory than all other daemons combined. I sure hope this is a leak and not by design ...
