[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#625288: Disable harmful second timestamp (or make optional).

[Trent W. Buck]

Package: libvirt
Version: 0.9.0-1
Severity: normal

I run logcheck with syslog-summary enabled.  That allows me to get ONE
line like this, indicating the number of duplicate (in this case 10):

    10 stomp dovecot: IMAP(russm): stat(/var/mail/lists/.managers/tmp) failed: Permission denied (euid=1033(russm) egid=1033(russm) missing +x perm: /var/mail/lists/.managers)

However, libvirtd includes its own timestamps in its syslog messages, which completely ruins this:

    1 theta libvirtd: 15:33:46.516: error : checkType:2495 : remoteReadConfigFile: /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf: unix_sock_group: invalid type: got long; expected string#012

Please remove, or at least make optional, these timestamps.  This is analogous to these smb.conf options:

    [global]
    # Without these, logserv's syslog-summary(1) fails to merge
    # identical smb log entries in logcheck emails.
       debug prefix timestamp = no
       debug timestamp = no
