I do not believe this is a bug. From what I can tell from reading through /etc/init.d/checkfs.sh and the man page for logsave, it seems that the logs from fsck that are generated by the init scripts are written over each time so there is no need for them to be rotated.

Thank you very much, Steven. Really it's not needed to have logrotate for that case. So it's not a bug.
