not really.

so you want to find packages which install files _and_ directories to /var/log 
like /var/log/foo.log and /var/log/foo/ ?? (but dont care if a package only 
installs /var/log/foo.log?)

i'm curious: why do you want to know this? :)

i've just tried "apt-file search /var/log" but that only resulted in five 
hits. wonder why...


cheers,
