Normally this should be done by the system itself. Please check out the
scripts in /etc/cron.{daily,weekly,monthly}. They contain several
savelog entries.
If you find spurious logfiles that aren't connected to a package
anymore, report it as a bug. Logfiles are ought to be removed within
the postinst if a package got --purge'd.
