I find the ".log" extension redundant here. After all, it's a
log directory, right?  It's like having /bin/ls.bin ... Reminds me
of .exe extensions too much.

Additionally, it's not that common to have a logfile named after the
_package_ the daemon or whatever is in. Often the logfile is named
after the executable that generates the log.
