Can I suggest the restart action is replaced with the copyrotate function. facility. This avoids the need to do a restart at all.

The copyrotate function can lead to log entries being lost. It is recommended to change the restart to reload if you have ssl keys with passwords. Starting with 2.2.3-4+etch3, this is now documented in README.Debian.
