Yes it works, and I had to use it recently to flush over hundred gigs of on-disk logs to log server. It was crucial and necessary.

I'm not doing autopkgtrest for it. It would be overkill and I have no capacity. Such things should be tested upstream anyway. Shipping small rarely used script does not require autopkgtest. Just please ship this useful maintenance utility without which rsyslog may not be repaired when it stops forwarding accumulated logs. There is no risk.
