Hi! The sysklogd package provides a static /etc/syslog.conf, so why not provide a static and fitting /etc/logrotate.d/sysklogd file? This is what and other packages and even other distributions for sysklogd do. If some admin wants to change entries in the /etc/syslog.conf file, he has to change the /etc/logrotate.d/sysklogd file acordingly, just as he has to do if he changes any other configuration item that refers to log files. There doesn't need to be any automation on that, as far as I can see.
And I wonder why this bug is open for so long? My first action on a Debian machine was to configure logrotate, and I had to search hard until I found that sysklogd is one of the few (if not only?) package that still doesn't use it.
