I tried it and some scripts indeed start to fail with the latest SVN
version. All those scripts contain "set -e". Commenting that out make the
script run again.

A snippet:

set -e

case "$1" in
  start)
        echo -n "Starting $DESC: "
        start-stop-daemon --quiet --start --exec $DAEMON -- -d > /dev/null
2>&1
        echo "$NAME."
        ;;


But the console is still quiet, I need the cttyhack program to show any
init bootmessages on the screen.
