The notification spoolers log level was configured differently than other services. Previously users had the choice between:
- Normal logging (only startup, shutdown and errors)
- Verbose logging (also spooled notifications)
- Debugging (log every single action)
This was changed to the standard log levels which we also use in all other services.
The command line flag -v of the mknotifyd, which could be used to override
the configured log level was replaced with the --log-level=LEVEL argument.
While the change to this command line flag is an incompatible change, we don't
rate this as a change that is worth marking the werk to be incompatible. In the
end it's only an option used for manual debugging.
