Description : system log analysis utility
Logwatch is a collection of perl scripts that analyze system logs and
email summaries to system administrators. It can provide a very
useful early-warning system, especially for people who may not read
through all their system logs every day.
Looks like it's already packaged, Jay:

Description: A log analyzer with nice output written in Perl
Logwatch is a modualar log analyzer that runs every night
and mails you the results. It can also be run from command line.
.
The output is by service and you can limit the output to one particular
service. The subscripts which are responsible for the output, mostly
convert the raw loglines in structured format.
.
Logwatch generally ignores the time component in the output, so if
you want to investigate a particular problem, you have to go to the
raw logfiles.
.
The homepage of logwatch is: www.logwatch.org
(You can close the RFP by sending an email to 232127-done@bugs.debian.org.)
