log4j errors when running CLI tools from apt package install

[Mike Sparr]

Installed confluent platform 3.0 on ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS using the apt package installer. The kafka-... scripts for CLI appear in PATH and work, but every call produced a log4j error like the following. I would expect the logging properties to be configured during install to avoid these errors?

ubuntu@db1:~$ kafka-consumer-offset-checker --topic MyTopicName --group MyGroupName --zookeeper localhost:2181

I see here: https://github.com/confluentinc/kafka/blob/trunk/bin/kafka-run-class.sh#L151-L160   is where it's looking for properties files, so why isn't the installer placing these in correct place?
