I actually went with lastaction in my example (I keep forgetting it over
the years and going to postrotate + sharedscripts for some reason..)

http://unicorn.bogomips.org/examples/logrotate.conf and pushed
this out to unicorn.git

Subject: [PATCH] add examples/logrotate.conf

logrotate is the de facto tool for logrotation, so an
example config for highlighting important parts are in order.

Since our USR1 signal handling is part of the crusade against
the slow and lossy "copytruncate" option, be sure to
emphasize that :)
