This bug doesn't exist in Debian, it's only Ubuntu related workaround for
Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty), see LP bug #1258202
logrotate (3.8.6-1ubuntu2) trusty; urgency=low
* debian/logrotate.conf: use group 'syslog' by default when rotating logs,
otherwise logrotate will refuse to rotate logs in /var/log whose owning
group is now syslog instead of root. LP: #1258202.

Ubuntu developers, please change /etc/logrotate.conf line
su root syslog
to
su root adm
Or maybe we can remove this line from /etc/logrotate.conf , because in
Debian logrotate package there are no such line since 2013 ...
