Our rottlog has an empty STATDIR, it will create a /.lastweek file when
running.  Normally it should use /var/lib/rottlog/.lastweek.

I've noticed a couple other odd things with rottlog as well:

* the first rotated log has a .gz file extension; later rotated files
  have no extension, just a number.

* there doesn't seem to be a limit to the number of rotated logs kept,
  here's a sample from my /var/log/

  guix-daemon.log.117 guix-publish.log.84 guix-daemon.log.99

Thanks,

Maxim
