How about something like this:
Messages should only be displayed on the console if:
- it represents a slow task, eg compiling modules (emacs) or compiling
ls-R files (latex). Of course, this is a subjective criteria... What
is a "slow" task?
- it represents a task which could potentially crash the computer (not
sure if any actually fall in this criteria???).
- it represents a task that alters the state of the computer, eg
starting a daemon, or changing a config file. Obviously, this could be
debated...
Any messages displayed should be brief, and a maximum of one line for
each item.
Any other messages probably should be done via debconf.
Of course, this could do with some refinement, but I think you get the
general idea.
