Package: popularity-contest
Version: 1.76
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
/var/log/popularity-contest contains informations sent and not logs.
I think it could be moved to /var/lib/popularity-contest
If it should stay in /var/log I suggest to add savelog parameters
as some people would change the -c 7 coded.
i.e. I add this line in /etc/popularity-contest.conf
SAVELOG="-c 4 -l -d -D %Y%m%d"
Here is a patch for both points if needed
