Package: usplash
Version: 0.4-43-3
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
Currently some init scripts use log_warning/failure/success_msg to print
small essays to screen during boot. The usplash lsb scripts expect the
messages to be very short and prints them using STATUS (which uses the
tiny 5-6 character column to the far right of the text box).
This breaks, creating some horrible text when booting with VERBOSE=on
(/etc/rcS.d/S??check*.sh are good examples).
So I suggest they be changed to use "TEXT" output (which is also in line
with the output when not using usplash, which would be the
success/warning/failure message alone on one line).
