I don't see this as a real improvement.  Arguably these aren't errors, so 
stdout is where they should be going.

If we're going to do anything sensible with debug output then we should figure 
out how to do it properly and consistently.  Also remember that this isn't 
supposed to be user friendly, it's for internal developer use only.
