My initial proposal was only for [info] messages to be suppressed if VERBOSE=no.
Indeed, VERBOSE=no should not block important messages. After all, not
being verbose not does equal being quiet.

This VERBOSE mechanism is flawed by the „all or nothing” choice. One
fast solution (not necessary a good one) is to add a new variable
QUIET=yes to suppress important messages, but what about critical or
error messages?  :-(
