Bug description:
  [Impact]

  /var/log's Permission is going back to 755 after upgrading systemd
  if rsyslog is installed (default)

  [Resolution]
  Ensure that dh_installinit does not "helpfully" generate partial systemd-tmpfiles snippets in systemd package postinst.

  Ensure that a generic systemd-tmpfiles call is done in systemd
  postinst, which takes into account /all/ configurations, not just
  some.

  [Regression Potential]

   * This fix was already tested in bionic and works well there.

   * Bad autogenerated calls to systemd-tmpfiles are removed from
  systemd postinst, and replaced by a call that takes all configs into
  account, thus this is a very safe thing to do - and simply repeats
  what is done on boot, thus is as safe as it gets.

  [Test Case]

  1. Launch xenila container
  2. ls -latr /var
  3. apt install --reinstall systemd
  4. ls -latr /var

  The ownership, group and permissions for /var/log should remain the
  same.
