 Can we get this merged already? It is useful (I can think of various
 cases where I'd want to audit successful logs with grep, and some of
 them are things that should really be done, e.g. hunting down packages
 that still have unsafe-temporary-files), and realistically the
 maintenance cost is pretty much zero.
 
 Joerg, please don't just be obstructive. Other people's suggestions
 sometimes have merit :-)
