I did not change anything INN does. If it did the rotation on it's own
previously, this is really redundant. However, it's propably one of a
very few if not the only package doing log file rotation on it's own. It
would be worth considering if we remove the package internal rotation to
create a more concise INN package. At least, if we stick with the vendor
rotation, we should add a little fsl comment to avoid the same problem/
discussion in the future.
