This is more a Debian Policy thing than something I can control. It's up to the individual package maintainers to specify compress or not. The default /etc/logrotate.conf is how it is for historical reasons: it was like that when I took over maintaining logrotate, and that's the default that's shipped by upstream. Given that that's how things have been for over 10 years, there will be a fair amount of inertia to any change. Also /etc/logrotate.conf is a conffile and a sysadmin may decide not to take the packaged default when upgrading. This could cause a fair amount of confusion. -- Paul Martin <p...@debian.org>
