I just launched a precise image from http://cloud.ubuntu.com/ami/ and
checked the contents of /var/log (as user root). Everything in /var/log
had been created after the server had been started. It seems that all
content of /var/log is ignored when the server image is created.

Title:
  /var/log/upstart is missing

Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm not sure if this is the right place to submit this bug, but I
  created a new EC2 instance last night using the official Canonical AMI
  for Precise (ami-a29943cb), and I found that /var/log/upstart was
  missing. This means Upstart jobs won't be able to log anything, and
  results in the following daily error from logrotate:

  /etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
  error: error accessing /var/log/upstart: No such file or directory
  error: upstart:1 glob failed for /var/log/upstart/*.log
  error: found error in /var/log/upstart/*.log , skipping

  The fix is simple:

  mkdir /var/log/upstart
