Bug Description
Due to logrotate rules in lxc-android-config, when /var/log/syslog reaches 20M it is deleted and logging continues in a brand new empty file. If the timing is unfortunate users may lose all syslog information pertaining to a bug or other event of interest soon after the bug/event occurs (e.g., see [1]).
