If you don't have anacron installed - which is quite possible, or even
likely, depending on how you installed the machine - then the logs will
be rotated by a normal cron job at some ungodly hour in the morning[1].  So
perhaps an "apt-get install anacron" will help.

anacron installed so it doesn't really do anything at that time.
