No, it tells us that it is doing stuff _now_, that has been scheduled  
earlier. Since those tasks may take a long time (that's why we want  
to run them only once for several packages), you definitely need a  
message, but it would be nice if this message could be customized by  
the package or point perhaps to some documentation about these triggers.
