On Debian Wheezy one of the changes on packages is:
logrotate (3.8.0-1) experimental; urgency=low
Please note that this update changes the behaviour of logrotate:
Logrotate now skips directories which are world writable or writable
by group which is not «root» unless the (new) «su» directive is used.

This breaks and old hack that makes easy to rotate logs, need to read the changes on the documentation, it’s handy to have a dedicated program rotate your logs, and backups, that was I was using it on no root files.
