Package: heimdal-kdc Version: 1.3.1.rc2.dfsg.1-1 Severity: normal heimdal-kdc currently depends on logrotate. It's almost always incorrect to do this, since it forces logrotate to be installed on the system, including its default rules, and activates the package's logrotate rules (and the logrotate rules of any other package) even if the sysadmin wants explicitly to remove logrotate.
We use a different log rotation system for a variety of reasons, one of which being that it's more AFS-aware and has some special features for rotating logs into AFS. While we can remove all the separate logrotate configuration files to force logrotate to do nothing, it's much cleaner if we can just purge logrotate from all of our systems. Could you please lower logrotate to Recommends? logrotate is priority: important, so it's going to be in any standard system build. The only time it will be missing is when the sysadmin is explicitly removing it for some reason.
