Ah! I must have set this up myself. In /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf I have
among other settings:
destination cron { file("/var/log/cron.log"); };
filter f_cron { facility(cron); };
log { source(src); filter(f_cron); destination(cron); };
This is not necessary though. You can search /var/log/messages for logrotate.
