I have a RFS on mentors that adds a Conflict with systemd so that this
will be no longer a concern.

However systemd-tmpfiles(8) says:
 --prefix=path

while in systemd postinst you are calling as

if mountpoint -q /proc; then
        systemd-tmpfiles --create --prefix /var/log/journal
fi

This is not a bug in opentmpfiles until systemd does not document
that the prefix option can be used as in the above snippet.

So I'm reassigning to systemd
