I'll mark this as invalid.
It's right that the log files mentioned in Dave's bug report are not
rotated by logrotate.
The reason is that sysklogd already comes with cron jobs to rotate these
files itself. So logrotate is not needed to rotate these files too. If
logrotate would include these logs they would get rotated two times,
once by logrotate and once by sysklogd's cron jobs.
Also sysklogd and anacron are part of every default installation, so the
mentioned log files get rotated
and the default configuration very sane in this regard without an additional
dependency on a log file rotater liker logrotate.
If you still think this is a bug, please feel free to reopen this bug
report. Thanks.
