Bug Description
The stock my.cnf file (part of mysql-common) specifies that an error log is to be created at /var/log/
The logrotate conf file has the comment "The error log is obsolete, messages go to syslog now.". These packages are not in agreement with each other. I'm currently using Natty but this bug is also present in the Oneric packages.

I just took a look at upstream (Debian) and the my.conf files in both oldstable (Lenny) and stable (Squeeze) do not manually specify an error log file. This is "correct" behavior as understood by the logrotate conf file.
