There's logrotate and various scripts under /etc/cron.daily and

/etc/cron.*/syslogd which uses savelog).
Why hasn't all this been cleared up and all log rotation done centrally
via logrotate?
See bug:
#326421 - preprocess config files with m4
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=326421
for an explanation as to why the maintainer of syslogd isn't using
logrotate.
Unfortunately there don't seem to be any quick fixes for logrotate.
(Each time I visit the bug page for logrotate I become more convinced
it's time to completely replace it.)
