Public bug reported:

service --status-all reports some service status lines on stdout, others
on stderr.

noticable and problematic especially when piping to less/grep/etc.

presumably this is because it's calling multiple individual scripts each
generating their own output to inconsistent destinations.

workaround is to remember to 2>&1, but that is dumb; if the scripts
can't be made consistent then perhaps service(8) can at least do this
internally?

12.04 current dist-upgrade as of today
