[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#672361: bootlogd: escape sequences should be filtered out

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: bootlogd
Version: 2.88dsf-22.1
Severity: wishlist

/var/log/boot contains escape sequences, which make it difficult to
read, e.g.

Thu May  3 14:35:20 2012: [....] Setting parameters of disc: (none)^[[?25l^[[?1c^[7^[[1G[^[[32m ok ^[[39;49m^[8^[[?25h^[[?0c.

They should be filtered out (or interpreted to make "ok"/"warn"/...
appear at the right place).
