With regard to the /etc/init.d/cups condrestart line in
/etc/logrotate.d/cups, should logrotate.te include:
domain_auto_trans(logrotate_t, initrc_exec_t, initrc_t)
so that the init script runs in the proper domain, and any subsequent
daemon restarts are transitioned to the right domain?  That would run
the init script in initrc_t rather than directly in logrotate_t, and
eliminate the need for the various domain_auto_trans(logrotate,
foo_exec_t, foo_t) rules that I see sprinkled about various daemon .te
files, since the usual transition from initrc_t would handle it.
