Hi folks!

I just discovered that the start up messages of Debian don't have a unique
style. Some say
        starting daemon xxx ...
(lower case `s' and dots `...') while others say
        Starting network daemons: xxx
(upper case `S', colon, no dots) etc.

It would be nice if we had a "style guide" so that the different
packages could all use the same style. What do you think?

I personally would prefer the following style:

        Starting crond ...
        Starting network daemons: nfsd mountd
        Setting up whatever

i.e. all capital letters at the beginning and either daemon name (file
name)+dots or section ('network daemons') followed by a colon and no dots. 


Cheers,

Chris
