I think that I just found a "real" solution.

In the logrotate.conf file, under the section that you are concerned about 
(in my case, the one for my firewall log) use the "postrotate/endscript" pair.

For example:

[...]
postrotate
         /sbin/killall -HUP syslogd
         /sbin/killall -HUP klogd
endscript
[...]

Does that make sense?
