However, default kea services cannot write to this location because they
are running as "_kea" user on Debian by default.
You are already creating /var/log/kea so I would suggest to update
default config to use that directory by default.
Thanks, I brought this up upstream:
https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/kea/-/issues/2220#note_313724
I'd like to to get an ACK from upstream on using that path, but even if
we don't I'll fix this before the bookworm freeze.
Note to self: we also don't want to set KEA_LOGGER_DESTINATION in the
systemd service files, as with systemd it's fine to get the early
logging messages (pre conf file parse) to stdout. See:
doc/sphinx/arm/logging.rst
