It looks like a papercut. Most of the patch just adds new checks, so 
it's likely to fit any version of the package:

(https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?att=1;bug=734688;filename
=logrotate-dest-file-exists.patch;msg=20)

So I'll mark it as such now.

I'll unsubscribe the Papercuts Ninjas team from the bug now, but feel 
free to still reply messages to the mailing list if that fits.

Thank you 🖒
