Executability is just nonsense, while world-readability goes against
the systemd-journald manpage, which claims that, by default, only
users in the systemd-journal system group can read journals not their
own.

Just my laptop. systemd-tmpfiles kept overwriting the modes of the
journal files to 0755, even though they should be 0640 to match the
above claim.
