That much I figured out. ;-)

The question is, whether it's running at all. If so, the proper thing for
me to do is hook into it with an appropriate conf file in
/etc/logrotate.d/, but I won't create such a file without being certain of
how (if) logrotate is being invoked.

Nope.

No -p switch on the invocation.
