Why are we taking a github snapshot tarball (which is not standard 
parctice in oe-core)? Put a comment here that when updating logrotate to 
latest upstream, SRC_URI should point to a proper release tarball from 
https://github.com/logrotate/logrotate/releases and we have to take the 
snapshot for now because there is no such tarball available for 3.9.1.

Generally, don't be afraid to put comments next to your changes, the 
more the better! And especially when you are doing something unusual 
that is not self-explanatory like above.

Otherwise, I am happy with the patchset!
