Thanks for your work.

- /etc/rsyslog.d/mythtv-backend must be renamed to 
   /etc/rsyslog.d/mythtv-backend.conf because according to 
   /etc/rsyslog.conf only files with the conf extension will be included;
- after the installation of the rsyslog config you probably need to 
   restart rsyslogd, so you need something like:
   if [ -x /usr/sbin/rsyslogd ]; then
    /etc/init.d/rsyslogd restart
   fi
- since you can use the syslog option with the frontend (and 
   mythtv-setup) as well, the rsyslog config should maybe go into the 
   mythtv-common package?
- my logrotate config was missing the option „compress”; without it you 
   don’t get compressed logfiles


But where do we go from here now? rsyslogd is the default logger, but we
still have syslog-ng and sysklogd available. A depends on rsyslogd,
because users of other loggers will get everything in /var/log/syslog
now? If yes, should /var/log/mythtv be changed to root:adm, so we get an
easier rsyslog config file (we don’t need to set and reset FileOwner and
FileGroup which may be wrong anyway in our file because the admin has
changed them in the global configuration?

I am not a Debian developper, so I don’t know anything about best
practice concerning packaging, so what do you think?

Shade and sweet water!
