Hi,

I think it would look nicer and be more readable if the "X is maintained
in the Y" messages had a common line prefix.

For example:

  NOTICE: 'apt' packaging is maintained in the 'Git' version control system at:
  https://anonscm.debian.org/git/apt/apt.git
  Please use:
  git clone https://anonscm.debian.org/git/apt/apt.git
  to retrieve the latest (possibly unreleased) updates to the package.

.. would look like:

  I: 'apt' packaging is maintained in the 'Git' version control system at:
  I: https://anonscm.debian.org/git/apt/apt.git
  I: Please use:
  I: git clone https://anonscm.debian.org/git/apt/apt.git
  I: to retrieve the latest (possibly unreleased) updates to the package.

This would separate it better from the rest of the status messages.

Patch attached.


Regards,
