Please, no. If I said purge, I meant purge. Purge removes all files that
belong to the package, which includes log files. If you want to keep
them, don't purge, or copy them somewhere. (Logically, this makes sense:
if you're removing configuration files, which you perhaps actually
had to put effort into, why wouldn't you remove log files, which are
completely auto generated?)
