[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#810141: libvirt-daemon-system postinst tries to touch files in nonexistent dirs

[Nick Phillips]

Package: libvirt-daemon-system
Version: 1.2.9-9+deb8u1
Severity: normal

On upgrade from wheezy to jessie, libvirt-daemon-system failed to complete
installation - postinst was trying to touch /var/log/libvirt/uml/.placeholder
and /var/log/libvirt/lxc/.placeholder - when neither of those directories
exist.

Had to manually create dirs in order for postinst to complete.
