OK, here is the content of /etc/logrotate.d/ntp

LOGS_WEEKLY="ntpd"
LOGSIZE=4096
DAEMON=rsyslog
METHOD=restart
COMPRESS_ALL=1

and hostapd

LOGS_DAILY="hostapd.log"
LOGSIZE=1024
DAEMON=ulogd
METHOD=reload
COMPRESS_ALL=1

and the contents concerning log from hostapd.conf:

# less hostapd.conf | grep log
logger_syslog=-1
logger_syslog_level=2
logger_stdout=-1
logger_stdout_level=2
#logger_syslog=-1
#logger_syslog_level=2
#logger_stdout=-1
#logger_stdout_level=1

We see that loglevel is increased compared to default, but that is what 
I want for different reason and that should not influence the found 
issue that the logfile is not release during rotation.

see above.

Yes, that was in lighthttpd:

lighttpd:DAEMON=adm
lighttpd:DAEMON=lighttpd

That seems OK for /var/log/ntps , but what about the files in 
/var/log/ntpstats/ ?

Focusing on hostapd: Do you mean I should set
DAEMON=hostapd
?

Thanks,
