I'm not sure if this is new with this release but I've only just
started noticing it. After upgrade my /var/log/mythtv is gone:
$ sudo ls -l /proc/$(pidof rsyslogd)/fd
total 0

I suppose due to this from mythtv-common.postinst:
if [ -d /var/log/mythtv ]; then
rm -rf /var/log/mythtv
fi
I can get it back by restarting rsyslog and all the myth components,
but I lose all my historical logs.
I'm using `--syslog local6` for my mythtv stuff which I think is a
deviation from the package.
I have a /etc/rsyslog.d/mythtv-backend.conf from mythtv-backend which
is mapping to this subdir.
I'm not sure what the intended logging structure is for the package,
perhaps I have broken it with my local changes, but I quite like the
split out by command way of logging.
