`logrotate' (from Red Hat Software) is packaged in Potato, but is not
used by everything yet. (Grep the list archives on debian-policy and
debian-devel for it if you're interested in how the discussion about
that went.)
You can install it, RTFM (and RTFS if you feel like it), then use it
to customize your log rotation setup. It works very well.
