If you'd read the bug, you'd notice that I'd noted the bug, considered
it minor (very few scripts rely on this undocumented feature), and noted
that logrotate was already frozen.
Fixing a bug that's only just THIS DAY had its priority changed to
critical, and not at least giving the maintainer time to look at it is
downright unfriendly behaviour. This is the second time you've done this
to me. Take time to read the dates and times on the bug reports.
As the bug was only "important", and not "critical", I considered it
better to leave things well alone as logrotate had already at that time
been frozen by the release managers.
important
a bug which has a major effect on the usability of a package,
without rendering it completely unusable to everyone.
I still think it's only an "important" bug, not a critical one. I know
of no other package that relies on the **UNDOCUMENTED** behaviour
described in the bug. See logrotate(8).
I admit my mistake in downgrading it to "normal".
