syslogd-listfiles uses the wildcard to decide if the log is rotated
weekly or daily.
syslogd-listfiles will return debug as rotated weekly.
*.=debug;\
auth,authpriv.none;\
news.none;mail.none -/var/log/debug
but if you change entry to below, syslogd-listfiles will reuturn debug
as rotated dialy.
*.*;\
auth,authpriv.none;\
news.none;mail.none -/var/log/debug
Since you don't want to log everything in debug,
therefore, you need to either modify the syslogd-listfiles to return the
files you want, or just modify the crontab to rotate the logs you want
without using syslogd-listfiles.
