I thought so. Thanks for your answer. But HUP’ing the mythlogserver may 
cause issues. At least for the packages from the Debian multimedia 
repository the logrotate configuration file belongs to the package 
mythlogserver. It looks mostly like the example from the wiki including 
the „su mythtv” line. My frontend is using syslog for logging, but is not 
running as mythtv user. So logrotate tries to HUP the mythlogserver as 
mythtv user without the permission to HUP it which is causing error 
mails.
At least for the frontend side I don’t have problems without HUP’ing 
mythlogserver. I will test it on the backend, but here the HUP’ing 
doesn’t cause any problems even if it is useless.

Shade and sweet water!
