[Pkg-postgresql-public] Bug#714982: postgresql-common: logrotate should not be required by the package

[Bill MacAllister]

Package: postgresql-common
Version: 134wheezy3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

     The requirement of having logrotate conflicts with our policy of 
     using another method of log rotation and requires specific code in 
     out configuration management system to work around.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

     Allowed logrotate to be installed but removed all of the 
     cron jobs for its execution.

Since logrotate is not required for the effective use of postgresql is 
should not be required by the package, rather is should be recommended.
