[Bug 1960570] [NEW] Logrotate shouldn't restart conntrackd

[Haw Loeung]

Public bug reported:

Hi,

The current logrotate config is as follows:

===
/var/log/conntrackd-stats.log {
    weekly
    rotate 2
    missingok

    postrotate
        invoke-rc.d conntrackd restart > /dev/null
    endscript
}
===

This causes weekly restarts of conntrackd. Can we switch to using
copytruncate instead to prevent restarting conntrackd?
