Bug Description

Binary package hint: casper

When booting without the "quiet" boot option, Ubuntu should show verbose messages during boot.
However, this is not honored by casper. I am attaching a patch that fixes this.

Thanks for your patch.

I actually think that we should be a bit more verbose even without quiet. I rather prefer the patch that was added in Debian's live-initramfs package for this, partly because it leaves the messages in /var/log/casper.log for later inspection as well as displaying them on the console. I've opted for porting that over to casper.
