At the list of adding more trash to the fire..
Jason's comment below, I think is excellent -- that while sed-i will
edit the file effectively, adding the snippet into the .d tree should
accomplish the same thing. With an added bonus:
That second option allows the .conf file to remain unchanged, which has
value in updates where the package being replaced has a
%config(noreplace) and a bug fix which *addresses* the config. I run
into people on both ends of the packaging process who haven't grokked
that yet, so I thought to draw attention.

Yes, order is important, as the options will only affect logfiles that
come after them, and since most of your logfiles are defined in
logrotate.d, the compress option comes too late.
To uncomment the existing compress option with sed, just use:
sed -i 's/^#compress/compress/' /etc/logrotate.conf
An easier (and more reliable) technique, however, is to add your option
overrides to a file that gets included before any of the other included
files, like so:
echo "compress" >> /etc/logrotate.d/000-local-overrides
That way you don't have to worry about figuring out whether the
commented out option is in the config file or what to do if someone has
added a space after the comment character.
