Sorry, that should have been _or_, I care about anything that gets created
in /var/log.

I also tried that first and got the same result and then realized that
most packages create their log files at runtime. That's why I
thought of piuparts because it actually installs and runs the packages.
Looking at piuparts.py, it looks like ignored_files and ignored_patterns
are used to ignore a lot (but not all) of /var/log things.
