I have a well functioning Debian 12 that automatically detects when software
needs to be updated. If this is the case, it offers to reboot and install it.
Today 2025-02-11 I had one of these updates, and watched the screen while
the system was booting.

The normal boot screen is a long list of green OK boxes, but when an
automatic update occurrs, there is a small spinner with a red
asterix "*" that bounches left and right.

During boot, the screen is in text mode. I counted 55 lines in total.
I would expect this message to be at the bottom of the screen, but it 
is at line 29, 30, 47, and 48.

I took a picture of the screen - here are the important lines
29: Installing updates: this could take a while...
30: Updating system               [  OK  ] Started dbus.service . ....
47: [    **] Job packagekit-oflineupdate.service/start running (3min 8s / no 
limit)
48: [    **] Job packagekit-oflineupdate.service/start running (2min 14s / no 
limit)


This is purely a cosmetic bug report, everything works as expected.
I have seen this happen every time I watch the boot screen during updates.
I have been using Debian for, maybe a year. I don't remember.
