Dear Maintainer,

Please consider introducing wildcards into the paths in the .logfiles 
configuration files.  Perhaps similar to the way they are used in logrotate's 
paths.

A use case is when using logcheck to check logs from multiple non-Debian 
systems such as routers, each having a dedicated directory with the last 
directory being their FQDN.  The router FQDNs follow a fixed pattern.  
Currently this requires an /etc/logcheck-for-routers/logcheck.logfile.d file 
for each router.  If .logfiles supported wildcards, a single 
/etc/logcheck-for-routers/logcheck.logfile.d file could be used for all routers 
and there would be one less step in the procedures to commission and to 
decommission a router.

Best

Charles
