Bug#348454: apache*: default logrotate conf is overkill

[Andrew <andrew@donehue.net>]

I disagree regarding the over-kill.  In some countries there are laws 
which dictate the duration that logs are kept for.

Regardless, it is up to you to have good monitoring system in place. 

The simplest solution would be to change to log rotation configuration 
on your system.

I am happy with the way the package comes configured.

Thank you.
