That is NOT the problem.
I am getting the same on a clean install of a reasonably recent wheezy.
The message is given by invoke-rc.d, NOT by the init script!
This is what happens when I run it by hand:
# invoke-rc.d rsyslog rotate
invoke-rc.d: action rotate is unknown, but proceeding anyway.
[ ok ] Closing open files: rsyslogd.
>From the invoke-rc.d manpage:
INIT SCRIPT ACTIONS
The standard actions are: start, stop, force-stop, restart, reload,
force-reload, and status. Other actions are accepted, but they can
cause problems to policy-rc.d (see the INIT SCRIPT POLICY section), so
warnings are generated if the policy layer is active.
I have a /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d, and as "rotate" is not among those
mentioned above, invoke-rc.d gives a warning. rsyslog should take into
account those installations that choose to have /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d .
