Re: I worked it out :)

syslogd-listfiles uses the wildcard to decide if the log is rotated
weekly or daily.

syslogd-listfiles will return debug as rotated weekly.
*.=debug;\
        auth,authpriv.none;\
        news.none;mail.none     -/var/log/debug


but if you change entry to below, syslogd-listfiles will reuturn debug
as rotated dialy.
*.*;\
        auth,authpriv.none;\
        news.none;mail.none     -/var/log/debug


Since you don't want to log everything in debug,
therefore, you need to either modify the syslogd-listfiles to return the
files you want, or just modify the crontab to rotate the logs you want
without using syslogd-listfiles.
