[tech] Re-applying motsugo /var space mitigation

[James Arcus]

Hi all,After the upgrade of motsugo to Debian Buster, parts of the logrotate config had bee overridden by new files in /etc/logrotate.d, causing some logs to grow very large. This led /var to fill up about 2 days ago.I have changed the new /etc/logrotate.d/btmp to rotate `btmp` weekly (instead of monthly) and to do compression. For those who don't know, `btmp` stores records of all logins failed over SSH. For motsugo, being directly accessible to the internet, this file would grow to many gigabytes quite quickly.Hopefully this helps.Cheers,James [MPT]
