The fact that there is much more than one init script which writes
additional output in between the policy conformant "Starting foo...
Done.", giving "Starting foo... blurb
blurb
Done." is one of the most annoying facts in Debian, IMO.
Additionally, it is bad that on systems which neither have a serial
console nor a monitor attached init script output is inaccessible.
