icecream log files not handled correctly

[Henry Miller]

in debian/icecc.conf iceccd is configured to write logs to /var/log/iceccd.log. iceccd runs as user icecc which does not have permissions to write to this directory. I suggest changing ICECC_LOG_FILE by putting logs in the path /var/log/icecc

ICECC_LOG_FILE="/var/log/icecc/iceccd.log"

To go with this icecc.logrotate need to change to /var/log/icecc/iceccd.log

last, icecc wants a HUP signal when the log file rotates. I suggest changing icecc.logrotate to:

/var/log/icecc/iceccd.log {
       missingok
       postrotate
           /usr/bin/killall -HUP iceccd
       endscript
       notifempty
}

I'm unclear if the directory /var/log/icecc needs to be created first or not. I'm also not clear if we need to do this for the scheduler or not.
