You are really blowing it by leaving those .0 files around or
expecting users will look in some README.

E.g., today I did grep bla syslog. Not there? Must be in syslog.0,
not there either. So I told my assistant "the bla problem didn't occur
this morning, hooray!" when all along it was lurking in syslog.1!

Therefore when a user installs rsyslog, for each .0 found, you should
rotate all the logs and move the .0's into the new_names.1.(gz?).

You don't even need a warning screen to tell the user what is
happening.

So how should I clean up the current mess,
# find . -name \*.0* -printf %f\\n
boot.0
syslog.0
Xorg.0.log
daemon.log.0
mail.warn.0
dmesg.0
debug.0
user.log.0
lpr.log.0
messages.0
mail.err.0
mail.log.0
kern.log.0
auth.log.0
mail.info.0
Xorg.0.log.old

remove them? But not all are logs that rsyslog is in charge of?
