Comment 2 for bug 61760

It's annoying for init scripts to send their output to the console after the system has started up. The functions in /etc/lsb-base-logging.sh appear to have been written under the explicit assumption that xdm or a similar login manager will be used. I can't think of any other reason that the console would have been given the role of a system log.

Perhaps it would be better for the log_to_console () function to be enabled somehow by /etc/init.d/gdm, instead of assuming that gdm is being used.
