That is not the problem that was reported by opkg. That is what I saw in 
the built package - /var/volatile/log/ConsoleKit and /var/log/ConsoleKit.

BTW, Koen. I've just built a consolekit package in Angstrom environment
with my patch applied and here is the interesting part:
lumag at fangorn:~/OE-scripts$ dpkg-deb -c 
build/tmp-angstrom-eglibc/deploy/ipk/armv5te/consolekit_0.4.5-r8_armv5te.ipk 
  | grep var
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2011-12-16 21:32 ./var/
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2011-12-16 21:32 ./var/run/
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2011-12-16 21:32 ./var/run/ConsoleKit/
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2011-12-16 21:32 ./var/log/
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2011-12-16 21:32 ./var/log/ConsoleKit/

So the package does include the /var/log/ConsoleKit even without 
explicit note on it. Could you please recheck your environment and try 
building/checking consolekit package with my patch applied?
