Hi,

I upgraded today and got quite the list of problems. I would suggest
the following changes to the output:

* The reported files are a mix of scripts in /etc/init.d an links
in /etc/rc?.d. For each file you have to to a `find /etc <filename>'.
Please output the complete path to each offending file.

* The output is given in a single very long line. Please change to a
list output with one `<path>: <reason>' per line

* The problem with `removed by not purged' is not only the typo, which
is fixed now, anyway, but that it's not clear at all, this should be a
problem. Please give the path to the script/link and a real reason
(missing LSB header/whatever). You can still give the hint to purge the
package (like `(package <foo> removed, purge it to delete the script)').

* The whole list of errors is printed twice:

The following problems were detected: <lots of errors>
error: Unable to migrate to dependency based boot sequencing.
error: <the same lot of errors>

This is a bit confusing. The errors shouldn't be printed a second time.

* On upgrade I got the error

grep: /var/lib/update-rc.d/*: No such file or directory

I didn't get this error on dpkg-reconfigure and it doesn't seem to be
problem. The output could lead people into investigating a
non-existent problem. Please redirect to /dev/null, if it's not
really a problem.

Cheers,
harry
