You can't specify a directory to logrotate, it just takes file paths, though
you can use globbing.
Additionally, an empty stanza will, I believe inherit the global options, so
it depends what the rest of your config has.
IMO, if you don't want logrotate dealing with a directory at all, just
remove the config lines/file that cause it to do so.
