This is a very easy thing to fix.  There are 3 lines in 1 file that need
to be removed.  The logrotate package is important, the same priority as
cron.  Log rotation is usually something you want but I have yet to see a
packæge that depends on having its logs rotated.  Logrotate depends on
cron which is also not a base §ackage.
