Another possible issue I found out. I am not an expert on system
logging so I might be incorrect.

As the dcron logging is now managed by syslog-ng, it shouldn't provide
a /etc/logrotate.d/crond.  Instead, we should release a new syslog-ng
package with /var/log/crond.log added to the list of logfiles being
taken care of in its /etc/logrotate.d/syslog-ng. We could add, at the
same time, the other logfiles created by syslog-ng but currently
ignored in the log rotation:

/var/log/lpr.log
/var/log/uucp.log
/var/log/news.log
/var/log/ppp.log
/var/log/debug.log
/var/log/acpid.log

Am I missing something? Any objections, comments?
