Here is a patch proposal to change this, to both get quiet boots and
non-quiet upgrades/interactive use. vars.sh should then only set the
VERBOSE variable from /proc/cmdline during boot and shutdown, and not
when scripts are called interactively.

Would this change have any unexpected side-effects?
Happy hacking,
