postgresql-common breaks logrotate

People who have attempted to install PGDG versions of PostgreSQL on 
recent Ubuntu releases have run into the cascading problem of postgresql 
wanting to destroy Ubuntu.

Based on the packaging:
postgresql depends on postgresql-common
postgresql-common breaks logrotate (>3.8)
ubuntu-standard depends on logrotate
profit?...

It appears the reason for the claimed breakage is a very slight update 
to logrotate that requires one to tell logrotate about files/directories 
with non-"standard" ownership/permissions. Getting logrotate to stop 
complaining is trivially resolved by the user by adding a single "su" 
directive to the /etc/logrotate.d/postgresql-common or by having 
PostgreSQL log to syslog.

It seems that "breaks" is overkill and the hassle imposed by that 
declaration far exceeds any benefit therefrom.

Thoughts?
