Bug#775447: Does not update or remove /var/log/dmesg

Control: reassign -1 initscripts 2.88dsf-58

/var/log/dmesg is created by /etc/init.d/bootlogs, i. e. "owned" by
the initscripts package. I agree with Michael that we shouldn't just
remove it or otherwise touch it in the systemd package, as that would
be both rude as well as wrong if initscripts ever changes its
behaviour.

I think it would be best if initscripts would drop a logrotate snippet
to clean up old files.

Thanks,

Martin
