I had a look, and I am not sure if we really want to change the
default of VERBOSE from yes to no.  I did not discover this before:

  sysvinit (2.86.ds1-9) experimental; urgency=low
  [...]
   * /etc/default/rcS: Make VERBOSE and DELAYLOGIN default to "no"

I suspect this will make more noise than it is worth, and I would
rather do a few releases with all the other new features before we try
to take that fight.  Any objections to reverting that to yes?

I will try to make a new upload this weekend.

Thank you for the reminder. :)
