I was looking through logrotate configuration files /etc/logrotate.conf
and /etc/logrotate.d/ and noticed that there is no entry for rotating
arbitrary files in /var/log... yet they appear to be rotated regardless.
Why is this, and do I need to throw a file in to /etc/logrotate.d/ if
my program writes to a log file in /var/log?

Secondly, when should 'syslog-facility remove' be called?  I was thinking
to do it when the package is 'removed' so that it will free up a facility
without having to be 'purged.'
