I like this idea but there's some regressions since first time it
won't know how many steps it'll take and also every time you add or
remove things from init it'll be wrong and just next time it'll work
well again. I think we need to keep the automatic detection of steps
somewhere.

Besides that, we can use lsb to output messages in verbose mode and
remove buffer handling.
