Yeah but this pacakge has to work properly both in Debian and Devuan
(and other downstreams too) and I'm not sure how this could be possible.
Example: 
*devuan could change the /lib/rsyslog code and add runit support, but I
 still need the duplicate logrotate file for Debian (in this case
 rsyslog gets HUP twice, and you still get spam in logs)

* devuan could change the logrotate file to work with fragments in
  /lib/rsyslog but I still need need the duplicate logrotate file for
  Debian (you only got spam in logs)

Overall fixing in Devuan only works if there is a reliable way to
identify a Devuan system in maintainerscript, so that I could make
the copying of the logrotate file a no-op in Devuan systems..
