Oh, damn, this'll be horrible to fix. The logrotate file was moved from
the syslog-ng package to syslog-ng-core, and the postinst/preinst magic
that was supposed to disable rotation if the package is removed (but not
purged) bit me.

Personally, I'd lower the severity to important, since the package CAN
be installed again in wheezy if it was removed in squeeze, if one
answers the prompt.

Nevertheless, I'll leave it at serious for now, and try to figure out
how to fix the situation properly.

Thanks for the report!

By the way, may I ask what version of piuparts you used? Mine (on sid)
does not seem to know the --install-remove-install option, which is
needed to trigger this bug. (I've been testing the package with piuparts
and manually too - to make sure upgrades work after the split. I never
thought of the install+remove in squeeze followed by a reinstall in
wheezy scenario...)
