** Description changed:

  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.
+ generating their own output to inconsistent destinations. Maybe there's
+ some standard that says what these should do, and lots of bugs should be
+ filed against each of the non-compliant ones?
  
  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?
+ redirect internally?
  
  12.04 current dist-upgrade as of today
