It is still broken. I have installed the new version on our mail
server yesterday. This morning I found this:

-rw-r----- 1 root adm 0 Feb 25 00:00 /var/log/mail.info
-rw-r----- 1 root adm 0 Feb 25 00:00 /var/log/mail.log
As you can see, some log files are not compressed, others have
been written, even though they were renamed to $filename.1.
/etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog is attached.
