This would just paper over the error that "invoke-rc.d rsyslog rotate"
is undefined for running under systemd or upstart, as "rotate" is
*only* defined for /etc/init.d/rsyslog. Thus if the logrotate script
really wants to do that instead of directly sending a SIGHUP, then it
should also call the init.d script directly.

Merging with the existing bug against rsyslog.

Thanks,

Martin
