Sometimes rsyslog ignores the rotated log files. Sample session:

See how messages.1 is written, but messages is ignored? I haven't
figured out how to reproduce this, yet.
6:25 was boot time. The PC was shut down clean before. logrotate is
version 3.8.5-1. /var/log/messages is written using
*.=info;*.=notice;*.=warn;\
auth,authpriv.none;\
cron,daemon.none;\
mail,news.none -/var/log/messages
