the logrotate flag is deprecated.  packages should just install the logrotate snippet unconditionally.

Comment 2 DEMAINE Benoît-Pierre, aka DoubleHP 2010-09-15 18:56:15 UTC

Feel free to merge the proposed file with or without flag :)

side issue: if mpd is installed, but not configured to start at boot time, this will start it anyway ... so, the restart line should be changed to sth like
/etc/init.d/mpd status | grep started && ...

This bug of course depends on bug 336615

mpd-0.17 adds the ability to start a new log file on SIGHUP. 0.17.4-r2 and newer install a logrotate file similar to yours.
