Bug#1100398: apt: Reinstall does not reinstall all files

Package: apt
Version: 2.9.33
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]

I've modified "/etc/logrotate.d/apt" few months ago. I wanted to restore the
original with "apt reinstall apt", but nothing happens even after removing
"/etc/logrotate.d/apt". Original "/etc/logrotate.d/apt" is not getting
installed in "/etc/logrotate.d/".

Relevant debug logs:
