The Debian package installs this file: /etc/logrotate.d/nginx:
/var/log/nginx/*.log {
daily
missingok
rotate 52
compress
delaycompress
notifempty
create 640 www-data adm
sharedscripts
postrotate
[ ! -f /var/run/nginx.pid ] || kill -USR1 `cat /var/run/nginx.pid`
endscript
}

So, in this case, kill. logrotate gets run by cron every now and then,
your only concern is cleaning logfiles (if your disk is small).

HTH,
Nuno
