** Description changed:

- When zsys is installed, an apt install includes the following message in
- its output:
+ [Impact]
+  * When Zsys is installed, an apt install includes the following message in 
its output:
+   INFO Updating GRUB menu
+ There's no information that explains why this is being done, so the first 
time I encountered this it was quite concerning.
+  * Replace the pre and post-apt run message with the following:
+ <apt download content>
+ Requesting to save current system state
+ Successfully saved as "autozsys_ttmh2w"
+ ...
+ ZSys is adding automatic system snapshot to GRUB menu
  
-   INFO Updating GRUB menu
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+  1. Install new ZSys version
+  2. Run apt upgrade (with content to be installed)
+  3. Check that the above messages are printed (without INFO)
+  4. Manual state save message is also enhanced for coherence:
+ $ zsysctl state save --system
+ ZSys is adding automatic system snapshot to GRUB menu
+ Successfully saved as "autozsys_l5247e"
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ * We changed the print message process to not have any INFO printed. However, 
those were only used for this specific use case.
+ * This is only printed to command line users, and the change of strings don’t 
happen any GUI functionality. ZSys is labelled as experimental and not fully 
translated, so the change to non english locale has a minimal impact.
