Package: aide
Version: 0.10-6.1
Followup-For: Bug #260942

In the initial /etc/default/aide, the variable NOISE is defined without
masking the special characters for grep, i.e. the "|" and "(" and ")".

Additionally adding /var/log would reduce the output significantly,
though some logs may be of interest?

Following diff helps me:

 # This parameter gives a grep regular expression. If given, all output lines

+NOISE="\(/var/cache/dwww\|/var/backups\|/var/lib/dwww/html\|/var/log\)"

Maybe also a hint would be helpful that this setting is prepended by
"^\(changed\|removed\|added\):" in /etc/cron.daily/aide.
