[request-tracker-maintainers] Bug#747076: request-tracker4: rt.log file permissions

Package: request-tracker4
Version: 4.2.3-2
Severity: important

The common case appears to be that /var/log/request-tracker4/rt.log
is created owned by root, without group write permissions, so that
the web app can't write to the file. The solution for Debian is
probably to ensure that the file is group writable via tweaking the
umask (/var/log/request-tracker4 is SGID so the group ownership should
be correct); but this might have to be something that an administrator
updates since it will vary accordingly to the particular deployemnt.

Relates also to #676322.

Dominic.
