Marking this bug as important as the package is mostly unusable by a non-technical user.
The motion.service can only start if the user manually creates /var/log/motion folder.

Patch attached to fix this. The suggested change was already part of the
motion init script but was dropped when updating it to systemd service.
The old code can be seen at: https://sources.debian.org/src/motion/4.1.1-1.1/debian/motion.init/#L60
