Strictly speaking, there are no "log" files managed in
cron.daily/standard. There are status files that are regenerated daily,
with backups managed using savelog because it's convenient. I don't
think logrotate would quite work.
(The fact that checksecurity uses /var/log is an unfortunate artifact
of history, it really ought to be in /var/state[1]. And I just realized
that if someone uses the new LOGDIR variable in checksecurity.conf,
setuid.changes won't be affected.)
