Ok... logrotate(8) is unpleasantly unspecific about that, though
from googling [1], and reading glob(3) I believe that globbing is
available through (g)libc which logrotate is linked to:

# ldd /usr/sbin/logrotate
        libpopt.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libpopt.so.0 (0x0000003c8c000000)
        libselinux.so.1 => /lib64/libselinux.so.1 (0x0000003c88000000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x0000003c86800000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x0000003c87000000)
        libsepol.so.1 => /lib64/libsepol.so.1 (0x0000003c87c00000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x0000003c86400000)

So I guess you can use glob(7) (as stated in [1]).

Frank.
