I think that there are no big issues with colors (all terminals and
"less" can handle them) and they can be useful to see failures more
easily. Thus I think that they shoud be kept.
/lib/lsb/init-functions.d/20-left-info-blocks is what should be
dropped actually since it involves cursor movements and is not
much useful. Moreover, the output can be wrong when the program
outputs warnings or error messages.
Then bootlogd should not do any filtering.
