I am sorry, but I have not performed that sort of configuration.

For production code, I do not use Log directly. I would use Timber or some other wrapper library, one that has hooks for turning off debug logging, integrating logs with crash reporters. etc. See https://stackoverflow.com/a/2466662/115145 for more on this, which also has some notes about your desired Proguard solution.
