The rsyslogd runs as syslog:adm but logrotate is set to run as tomcat:adm therefore not able to truncate the file which is owned by syslog:adm

Was it really important to run syslog as `syslog:adm`? I guess it might improve security, but it seems to be causing some unforeseen problems and divergence between Debian and Ubuntu.
