No, this is no good.

1. the messages scroll by to fast to notice, and please don't even
think of adding a "press RETURN to continue" thingy. Thing unintended
installation. 

2. this is just a message on how to use a package. Imagine every
package would put out info on how it can be used and set up during
installation. This would be a plain mess.

Only *important* messages should be displayed during installation;
Using debconf if they are to be displayed.
