LogFile variable

Quoting HOWTO-Customize-LogWatch.gz:

I notice the LogFile variable name is used in both logfile group config 
files and service filter config files, and means different things in 
each. The note above seems to acknowledge the confusion this might 
introduce.

I'm sure this came about for historical reasons, but wouldn't it make 
sense to add a more accurately name alias for the latter case, such as 
LogFileGroup?
