Change location of log file from pkg, due to logrotate problem?

Hello I am now the maintainer of the bacula packages in aur. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=4510

The package ships with a log rotate file which points to /usr/var/bacula/working/log as the log file. However, log rotate gives

error: bacula:14 olddir /var/log/archive and log file /usr/var/bacula/working/log are on different devices
error: found error in file bacula, skipping
invalid password file entry
delete line ''? No
invalid password file entry
delete line ''? No
pwck: no changes

The solution to this is to change the log path to /var/log/bacula. My question is if I should leave the log path as is and have the user change it, or should I patch both the config file and syslog file to contain /var/log/bacula?

Thanks,
~pyther
