That's by design, but I'm happy to change it.  debootstrap considers these
messages to be warnings, so we were displaying them.  Now those messages will be
displayed just like the informational messages.  I considered making the choice
of behavior conditional on bootargs.quiet.  Another option would be to change
what debootstrap thinks is a warning.  If either of those sound better, speak
up.
