That's my experience too - and I'm both guilty there (being the bug
submitter led by the "Packages are encouraged to install their own
logcheck rulefiles" in README.Maintainer) and bitten by it due to
outdated rules and suboptimal fixes, for example #304110.

Did you find an agreement silently ;) or is this still an undecided
issue?

I wonder, because I've stumbled upon some more outdated rules in other
packages that I'm going to file bugs on and could take the chance to
suggest moving the rules over to logcheck-database as an alternative
fix, if that is what you prefer anyway.
