I've noticed this bug as well. Quite an irksome thing to see on startup/shutdown. :)
$VERBOSE is going to be set in the environment, because it's a standard rcS variable in Debian. The /usr/sbin/laptop_mode script should be fixed to not assume that this is evidence that the default verbosity setting needs to be overridden. Perhaps the easiest way to achieve this is simply by unsetting VERBOSE at the top of the script. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
