Title:
  [systemd] /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog fails to instruct rsyslog to close
  & reopen fds

Status in “rsyslog” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in “rsyslog” package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog contains

          postrotate
                  reload rsyslog >/dev/null 2>&1 || true
          endscript

  which works on Upstart but not on systemd. Therefore, after logs are
  rotated, rsyslog continues to write to the old files, leaving the new
  files empty. It should be changed to ‘service rsyslog reload’ or
  ‘invoke-rc.d rsyslog reload’ or something.
