Description

Currently there is code for log rotation but there isn't a way for packages to influence how that rotation is handled without using their own custom newsyslog config file.

The existing code for logging uses a format in the package info.xml file like this:

        <logging>
            <logsocket>/tmp/haproxy_chroot/var/run/log</logsocket>
            <facilityname>haproxy</facilityname>
            <logfilename>haproxy.log</logfilename>
        </logging>

That needs to be extended to support the rotation parameters mentioned in #9711
