It wouldn't be appropriate for reload, as "logger reload" doesn't 
actually reload the configuration.  It just closes and opens the log files.

Consider the following actions for the init script:

restart:
  stop and then start asterisk

reload:
  asterisk -rx "reload"

logger-reload:
  asterisk -rx "logger reload"

extensions-reload:
  asterisk -rx "extensions reload"

The logrotate script could then invoke /etc/init.d/asterisk logger-reload
