Yeah, that works. Though looking at the current script, there's not really much 
need to split it up.

The main problem is to do the logrotate hook itself - ideally you'd add it 
directly to the webserver entry rather than a new awstats entry. Is that going 
to be a pain - editing another package's configuration files? I dunno what 
infrastructure / policy Debian has for this sort of thing.
