Public bug reported:

The screen package needs to change the -L switch feature so that a
screenlog.0 filename can be given a specific directory/filename output
such as doing:

screen -L /tmp/screenlog.1 (2, 3, etc)

Otherwise in order to run multiple screens with -L they each have to be
executed from different directories, because they'd all output to the
same screenlog.0 file.

The only alternative workaround to this is doing:

screen -dmS workspace | tee screen.log

or

screen -dmS workspace && screen -S workspace -X stuff $'<command> | tee
screen.log\n'


Conclusion, To recode the -L switch to allow to explicitly specify custom 
filename/directory location for screenlog.0 output ?
