So after this fix, how do you make truly verbose startup messages occur
without hitting ESC?  Maybe this is a different bug, but removing the
quiet and splash parameters in karmic doesn't make things as verbose as
it should (and used to).

Hitting ESC as recently as the 9.10 RC live CD showed verbose information (all 
stdout/stderr output by init scripts), but now after this fix hitting ESC kills 
startup processes potentially causing big problems, for example trying to hit 
ESC I've gotten messages like:
mountall: Cancelled
General error mounting filesystems

Even with the quiet and splash boot parameters removed in karmic, (and
even with usplash uninstalled) you only get the basic messages output by
commands like log_begin_message and not anything sent to stdout or
stderr like you would in jaunty and all previous releases.  If they're
just going to a different virtual terminal I couldn't find them there
either.

So how can I see ALL messages from the init scripts now that the ESC key
functionality has essentially been taken away?
