Package: xdm
Version: 1:1.1.4-3
Severity: wishlist

Regarding 328317, 359987: actually please put the xdm logs in their
own subdirectory. Imagine if every package kept 52 logs in the root
/var/log directory, it would quickly become unusable.
That's what subdirectories are for.  Also imagine if each user had to
configure each logrotation by hand. 

In contrast, only two of Xorg.0.log are kept.

unlikely to happen in Debian only, please file a bug/send a patch
upstream if you really want to do so:
  http://bugs.freedesktop.org/
  http://wiki.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/SubmittingPatches

Closing this bug accordingly.

That's a kind of a bad idea anyway, and likely to change.
