Please add something like the following snippet to the logrotate script for
your package:
prerotate
if [ -d /etc/logrotate.d/httpd-prerotate ]; then \
run-parts /etc/logrotate.d/httpd-prerotate; \
fi; \
endscript
(or some suitable directory other than the one suggested; I'm not sure what
Debian naming conventions are.)
This would be greatly helpful to log-parsing packages such as awstats, which
can then set up hooks to processes these logs before they get rotated (see
#590074 for an example).

I suggest to a) split the current cron job into infrequent and

How does that sound?
Yeah, that works. Though looking at the current script, there's not
really much need to split it up.
The main problem is to do the logrotate hook itself - ideally you'd
add it directly to the webserver entry rather than a new awstats
entry. Is that going to be a pain - editing another package's
configuration files? I dunno what infrastructure / policy Debian has
for this sort of thing.
Ah, yes. That was it: Not doable!
Or more accurately: It needs implemented in webserver packages that this
awstats package can hook into - not doable in awstats alone.
