Move it to extra and make it a dep of everything that logs to /var/log by default, optdep for stuff that can be configured to log there. (both assume that the package actually has a logrotate config ofc)
Is not needed for packages that log to /var/log (e.g. pacman), but for packages that install a logrotate.d script (42 at the moment). I'm not sure if this should be a dep or optdep though.
I think many of these support using syslog instead of writing their own log file, which might be a better default for at least some of them. Querying logs in the journal is a joy compared to dealing with custom format dates and so on in an application-specific log file.
