8 Ok, i see all files i have installed in that dir have disable=yes,
9 so they don't really hurt. Sorry about that, i should have check.

11 That makes me think of a similar solution for logrotate if the USE
12 flag must really go: merge only some completly commented files.
13 This way you give control back to the user, while still helping him
14 in his logrotate configuration.
15
16 Or again another one (a bit ugly imho tho): merge the files in an
17 "/etc/logrotate.d.dist" directory, and add an eselect module to
18 handle symlinks from "/etc/logrotate.d".
