Since this bug had been inactive for quite a while previously the
original reporter may no longer be following it.
I tested out the version in proposed, and can verify that the version in
proposed finds the samba logs correctly. Since the patch only adds an
additional rule to match the samba log files and does not remove the old
rule, there is no real regression potential, other than users seeing
output samba messages in their logwatch output that they had not been
seeing before.
Verification procedure (note that samba was not configured and was did
not start. the failure messages from it were still picked up by logwatch
with the fix applied though. note also that if logwatch not matching the
samba startup failure messages is considered a bug, it is separate from
logwatch not reporting the samba logs at all):
