That's why I said option.  The verbose options of sendmail and named
emit ludicrous amounts of data as well.  It's the sort of thing that is
turned off most of the time or pruned rather frequently...

How about giving dpkg the -D7777 debugging flags ?  Then you'll get

isn't ideal, but it's dealable-with, and if you want a timestamp run
`date' first ...
