hello :)

first thanks for shipping logcheck rules. :)
unfortunately its filename made our package uninstallable.
so i reassigned that bug.

README.Maintainer had a wrong indication for logcheck versions < 1.2.18
please just use <packagename> (sendmail) as filename for the 

note that not all of our rules are prefixed with logcheck-,
we will fix that in next version to avoid further clashes.
(keep another to duplicate to force that issue.)

thanks for your coorperation,
hope we can resolve that issue quickly.
regards maks
