Hi,

I just updated my ES package on debian (from packages.elastic.co repo) and  
it seems it won't start from the init.d script since default logs path are  
/usr/share/elasticsearch/logs. Though, it is mentionned that it should use  
/var/log/elasticsearch as default path for debian when reading at the doc  
here  
: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/1.5/setup-dir-layout.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/1.5/setup-dir-layout.html)  
Is this the expected behavior ?
