Package: logrotate
Version: 3.7.8-6
Severity: wishlist

On Debian, some packages providing configuration include directory allow for 
easily disabling.
E.g.: /etc/cron.d/ -> if a file has a . (dot) anywhere in the name, it is not 
taken into account, so adding a .old or ."date" something gets it disabled
Other e.g.: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ -> any file not ending in .list is 
ignored, so adding a .disabled gets it disabled.

Currently, any file in /etc/logrotate.d/ is interpreted.
It would be great if logrotate had a similar mechanism as described. 

Thanks
