Fair point. I pushed
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-systemd/systemd.git;a=commitdiff;h=0b1c0f2
to only run the setfacl on systems which already have /var/log/journal,
so that existing systems will be fixed.

I do agree that people who turn on persistent logging manually should
also set up the permissions properly. To document the procedure, I’ve
updated README.Debian:
