No, lsb-base provides /lib/lsb/init-functions (or something like that).
It contains indeed the log_*_msg functions, but it also sources
/etc/lsb-logging-functions.sh at the very end. That file was designed
so distros and admins can simply override the log_*_msg functions; in
other words precisely what I propose to do.

Yes, but it is big and IMHO (sorry if I offend anybody) full of hacks.
If we trigger on the log_end_msg function, it is as simple and clean as
possible.
