I don't think this is the right solution. With
f573efec2645cd78dcc7ed5726106588f378acaa I removed the lock
directory from the package, but forgot the postinst stuff. This is
due to policy requiring /var/lock directories to be empty. Thus,
logcheck needs to create the lock directory at runtime (which it
does), and this is the place to fix the ownership and permissions.
