[Logcheck-devel] Bug#355949: run-parts vs. find

The changelog for version 1.2.43 says the reason for switching to
'find' from 'run-parts':

   * Use 'find' instead of 'run-parts' to list the contents of
     directories since 'run-parts' cannot handle filenames with periods.
     Update control to depend on findutils.

It seems like not processing rule files with dots in them would be a
feaure, not a bug. Reverting back to run-parts would fix bugs 355383
and 353793 as well as this one. The only stipulation would be not being
able to use dots (or some other characters) in rule files you want to
use, but some sites depend on rule files with those characters to not
be processed. Can't logcheck just go back to using run-parts?
