Hi Christian,

dh-cruft has been available for many years already
and it's usage here would not hinder backportability anymore

Please consider the following patch to logrotate.

Then after next dinstall run, tools/migration*.py scripts
inside cruft-ng repos can be used to archive the old override rule.

I will handle this step but you can do it too if you prefer.

Any idea on how to improve dh-cruft are welcome.

Greetings

Alexandre

Here is a sample result of the templating.
