Package: fwlogwatch
Version: 1.1-1
Severity: normal

I much prefer to run fwlogwatch on a logfile that has already been
rotated (actually it once segfaulted on me when run on an active
logfile, but it also seems common sense).  Unfortunately, the scripts
in /etc/cron.daily are run in alphabetical order, and "fwlogwatch"
sorts before "logrotate" and "sysklogd".  So if I run fwlogwatch on,
e.g. /var/log/kern.log.0 (assuming I have arranged that file to be
rotated daily), I get data that is at least a day old.  It would be
better if the cronjob could run after the rotating ones (although
renaming the script may clash with policy, sigh).

I guess in general an ordering/dependency scheme is needed for cronjobs,
similar to he one for initscripts.
