I agree that servers could have huge logs. However, is there a way to
automatically disable compression on desktop hosts ?
Most notebook/desktop computer have more than 100 Gigabytes available.

Desktop computers also have enough CPU power (and compared to that,
negligible log volume) to do compression at log rotate time. It can
still turned off when not wanted, but defaults should be conservative.
As someone operating a couple of servers with low disk space, and high
volume of logs, I very much like the default (even though I'm not using
rsyslog - but the same settings should be applied for all syslogds
present in Debian anyway).
Agreed. I think the current default is fine and I don't plan to change
that. If you run rsyslog on a busy server, /var/log/ can fill up pretty
quickly.
