Something like this is possible with the -d option, which exists from at
least the 2.1.1 version of debianutils (changelog mentions documenting
it), it probably existed earlier.
The extension is then YYYYmmddHHMMSS instead of 0, 1, 2, ...
There's just one problem: the first savelog invocation prints out an
error:
$ rm foo*
rm: cannot remove `foo*': No such file or directory
$ touch foo
$ savelog -d foo
gzip:
.//foo.[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]:
No such file or directory
Rotated `foo' at Tue Oct 16 15:04:58 CEST 2007.
A tentative fix for this is included below.
