[Syslog-ng-maintainers] Bug#1072681: syslog-ng.service fails to start with empty var partition

[Sai.Sathujoda at toshiba-tsip.com]

Package: syslog-ng-core
Version: 4.4.0-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When running with an initially empty /var partition, the syslog-ng.service
currently fails to start as the /var/lib/syslog-ng directory is not present.

syslog-ng.service status gives the below mentioned error message.
Error connecting control socket, socket='/var/lib/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.ctl', error='No such file or directory'

For details, please also see #945269
