neat,
both bugs were tagged moreinfo, 
on several request no valid info were provided.
startup messages of daemons shouldn't be filtered by logcheck,
exceptions are common stuff for desktop users.

the current logcheck maintainers care not having invalid bug reports
lying around, so either reopen the bug with requested info
or any time later open new bug again with correct information
to be handled with.
