Public bug reported:

While trying to figure out why my laptop drive never gets fully to sleep
when running on battery power I discovered that the ubuntuone sync
daemon is appending to /home/$user/.cache/ubuntuone/log/syncdaemon.log
IDLE messages EVERY two minutes.

This continued writing to the log file by the daemon stating that it is
in an IDLE state actually makes the machine busy as it periodically has
to flush this data out which means spinning an idle disk drive up to
flush out the dirty pages.  This wastes power.

For IDLE messages, can we NOT write these messages out to the log
1. It is pointless debug
2. It makes the machine busy for no apparent benefit
3. It consumes power unnecessarily
