[Freedombox-pkg-team] Bug#816471: pagekite: Fails to start due to missing log folder

[James Valleroy]

Package: pagekite
Version: 0.5.8a-1
Severity: important

After installing and configuring pagekite (via plinth), the service
does not start, because /var/log/pagekite does not exist.

journalctl shows the following:
