Maybe you could avoid creating an empty file at all, or enforcing any permissions on it? (logrotate would copy previous permissions by default). From admin's point of view, it is cumbersome to adjust log files permissions in two places: cups-files.conf and logrotate for CUPS.

At the same time, cups-daemon.logrotate changes ownership to root:lpadmin, permissions 640 daily. At the same time, CUPS itself sets its log files by default to 644. Please make it a bit more consistent by default?
