That is entirely unconvincing handwaving.  We already have a method to
do what you propose, and it's no less correct or harder to learn about
than what you propose.  Moreover, it isn't specific to any one
logrotation method and doesn't create any broken dependencies (or do
you propose that all PostgreSQL packages will in the future have to
depend on Apache)?
