Package: atop
Version: 2.3.0-1+b1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

In managing my log directory and customize logrotate, I discovered
limitations in the way atop handles log files (which are different
from text files since they are process accounting files,, to my
understanding).

Can this package use logrotate like other debian packages? It's confusing, and 
then to discover that
/usr/share/atop/atop.daily is executed from a shell script in the background, 
made me think
that atop log handling could be greatly improved.

There are other bugs related to log file handling:

#877148 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=877148

I had to directly modify the /usr/share/atop/atop.daily to achieve my
temporary goal (accumulate more logfiles)
