Bug Description

Binary package hint: logwatch

This is probably a bug-fix-only release, but as upstream hasn't done official versioned releases, it's hard to distinctly assert that this is a minor-version bump. That said, updating logwatch to current Debian (7.3.6.cvs20090906-1) seems to fix the following Ubuntu bugs:
 - bug 228917
 - bug 391077
 - bug 425206

Also, the patch Ubuntu carried for bug 296349 has been taken upstream.

Package builds, upgrades, and runs as expected.

No new bugs were filed in Debian against it, and it has moved to testing now. Debian's changelog:

 logwatch (7.3.6.cvs20090906-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New CVS snapshot + postfix-logwatch 1.38.01
     - postfix-logwatch now supports SPF \S+ lines (closes: #507937)
   * Support cron with -L2 loglevel (closes: #542453)
   * Move logfiles ending with *.gz or *.bz2 to archive list, so they are
     unpacked before being processed (closes: #536472)
   * Include patch for imapd to support loglines from uw-imapd, submitted by
     Marcin Szewczyk, closes: #541152
   * scripts/services/denyhosts: Output one host per line, not one possibly
     very long line with all hosts. closes: #507042
   * Support "command continues" lines in sudo. closes: #505432
   * Fix typos in exim script. LP: #425206.
   * No longer force recipient in the cron script. (--output mail instead of
     --mailto root)
   * change comment concerning the Mailto parameter to no longer talk about
     removed Print parameter. closes: #499109
   * lintian:
     - Standards-Version: 3.8.3 (no changes)
     - Change path to GPL2 in debian/copyright

Low risk, not installed by default and is very single-purpose so user will tend to notice fast if it's no longer doing the right thing. FFe granted.
