Well by default icecast rotate the logs itself (move the log file to
*.log.old) and not to *.log.date_time as said (my bad) so
I guess it this case the logrotate script is useless.

Anyway, in the non-default cases (archivelogs set to 1) the files are
archived with their timestamp and in this case, the logrotate script
does nothing.
