Package: syslog-ng-core
Version: 4.4.0-3
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian.axhn at manchmal.in-ulm.de

Dear maintainer,

starting with 4.4.0-3, the syslog-ng-core package no longer ships snippets
related to logcheck and logrotate:

```
$ dpkg -c syslog-ng-core_4.4.0-3_amd64.deb | grep -E 'log(check|rotate)'
$
```

While previously:

```
$ dpkg -c /tmp/syslog-ng-core_4.4.0-2_amd64.deb | grep -E 'log(check|rotate)'
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2024-07-27 10:46 ./etc/logcheck/
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2024-07-27 10:46 ./etc/logcheck/ignore.d.paranoid/
-rw-r--r-- root/root       390 2024-05-04 17:23 ./etc/logcheck/ignore.d.paranoid/syslog-ng
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2024-07-27 10:46 ./etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/
-rw-r--r-- root/root       631 2024-05-04 17:23 ./etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/syslog-ng
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2024-07-27 10:46 ./etc/logcheck/violations.ignore.d/
-rw-r--r-- root/root       300 2024-05-04 17:23 ./etc/logcheck/violations.ignore.d/syslog-ng
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2024-07-27 10:46 ./etc/logrotate.d/
-rw-r--r-- root/root       534 2024-05-04 17:23 ./etc/logrotate.d/syslog-ng
$
```

Now checking your packaging repository, there's nothing related to that
change. Even more confusing, rebuilding 4.4.0-3 locally yields a package
with the desired content. Now I reckon the issue might be in debhelper
but it must have has been fixed recently then (4.4.0-2 was build using
debhelper 13.18, 4.4.0-3 using 13.18, now it's already 13.20).

So perhaps just do another upload, and things should be fine again.
