Package: dpkg
Version: 1.20.9
Severity: minor
Hi!
It's far better to run usrunmess from a system started "single" rather than
when running X-and-forty-daemons. However, this usually means fbcon
terminal, which even on this year's hardware is so much slower than hardware
text mode on a CGA was.
Also, Debian's default kernels have eleventy million files installed under
/lib -- linux-image-5.10.0-8-amd64 for example ships 4752 modules. Woe if
you have multiple kernel packages!
Put together, you spend a long long time watching files listed by usrunmess
slowly scroll by.
Thus: could you please decrease default verbosity somehow?
Meow!
