[Bug 1120280] Re: logrotate complains about error: mixmaster:7 unknown option 'su' -- ignoring line

This is an obvious hack and not a true patch. Instead su should behave
as expected and be exactly like the Debian version.

In my opinion, we should not divert from Debian on commands and scripts
unless it is necessary. This can generally be applied to inherent
differences in directory structure, interface changes, and security
issues. Why reinvent the wheel?

I simply commented out the offending line and added the comment, "Works in Debian, but not Ubuntu."
Then I duplicated the line, replacing mixmaster with root.

I am not a programmer. I have not tested this.

** Attachment added: "Replace mixmaster with root."
