+ The shipped configurations for "/var/log/btmp" and "/var/log/wtmp" have
+ been split from the main configuration file (/etc/logrotate.conf) into
+ separate standalone files (/etc/logrotate.d/btmp respectively
+ /etc/logrotate.d/wtmp).
+
+ If you had modified /etc/logrotate.conf in this regard, make sure
+ to re-adjust the two new files to your needs and drop any references to
+ (b|w)tmp from the main file, to avoid logrotate skip rotation due to a
+ duplicate definition.
