Sorry for the crosspost but this is topical for both lists.

Yesterday Eric mentioned:

Yes, we should go through all of these and make them consistent.   
I'll do that next week (this week is already a write-off)

I thought that there was a document talking about verbose and debug,  
but I can't find it right now.  So I'd like to propose an idea.

Verbose: output should make clear to the cfengine administrator what  
their configuration syntax resolves to.

Debug: output should make clear to the cfengine hacker what their  
code is really doing on the cfengine's administrator's system, when  
he reports a bug.

In short, any query to cfengine-help should include Verbose output,  
and any query to cfengine-bug should include Debug output.

Does this make any sense?

I'll redo the verbose/debug in package.c if everyone agrees.

I'll also resubmit a patch for EditFiles because I never know what  
that verbose output means ;-)
