Seems to me like these two files should at least be merged, as they have
different rules.

As for which package should inherit from the other, I'm a strong
proponent of having individual packages ship their own rules, but it's
really up to you.

Since logcheck ships lots and lots of files, it may be best for lpr to
either rename the file to something like, like lpr.package, or just drop
the file altogether. I'll take a look at the rules today and get this done..

Ideally, logcheck shipping its files named <package>.logcheck or
<package>.lc or similar would have been more compatible with packages
providing their own rules. But I guess that can't really be done now..
