This needs a further tweak.
# service rsyslog reload
Usage: /etc/init.d/rsyslog {start|stop|rotate|restart|force-reload|status}
# zcat /usr/share/doc/rsyslog/NEWS.Debian.gz
rsyslog (5.8.1-1) unstable; urgency=low
The way rsyslog processes SIGHUP has changed. It no longer does a reload
of its configuration, but simply closes all open files, which is a much more
lightweight operation.
To apply a changed configuration, rsyslogd needs to be restarted now.
As a consequence, the reload action has been dropped from the init script.
A new action called "rotate" was added to the init script, which signals
rsyslogd to close all open files. This new action is used in the rsyslog
logrotate configuration file.

# service rsyslog rotate
* Closing open files rsyslogd [ OK ]
See also https://bugs.debian.org/626365. The right action is ‘service
rsyslog rotate’, not reload. Sorry for not catching that earlier.
