  2. * Name the file after the package containing the daemon/program
  3. emitting the log entries
  4. * Append .changes if the file completely replaces the one currently in
  5. Debian officially (either provided by logcheck or the package itself)

  14. * comments are allowed: First character of the line must be a #
