It is hard to imagine who would want to read the logs.  Maybe someone will
want to study how installation/deployment techniques had been changing over
the years in open source, who knows?  Our build logs for some 25K+ ports
can give plenty of interesting data bits.  And making them more uniform and
clear, once I think about it, can help not just debugging. :)

Package users won't see any of them anyway, of course.  I'm mainly concerned
with traditional ports usage (that is, "cd /usr/ports/cat/foo && make install
clean") which I still do a lot.  It is nice to see what is being installed,
even if everything is fine: then I don't have to read pkg-plist to see "now,
where I do start with this thing?" for example.  Doesn't happen often, yes,
but then again: we're not actually winning anything by muting them.
