Thanx for correcting me :O)

This is something that we could solve by logging the messages somewhere
and notifying the user at the end of installation iff there were some
"must see" messages. This would be the non-interactive mode i mentioned
earlier.

The question is whether _all_ the insnotify()/delnotify() messages
should be "must see" or we need a way to distinguish between "must see"
and "nice to see, but not really required".
