We use a different log rotation mechanism than logrotate to rotate all
system logs since it has additional features specific to our environment.
We therefore purge logrotate from all of our systems so that we don't
have to clean up all of its configuration files and convince it not to
do anything, since otherwise it fights with our log rotation configuration.
samba is one of a few packages we've run into that has a hard dependency
on logrotate. This seems to me like the right place to use recommends
instead, since samba should not require a specific log rotation program
to work properly, only require that its logs be rotated.
Yep, agreed. Reopening bug #504219 was on my todo list; having been closed
citing me as precedent, but I've since had a change of heart (probably
because recommends-by-default are now available). I'll go ahead and get
this change committed.
