INFO messages are output when the verbose flag is enabled
DEBUG messages are output when the debug flag is enabled

Those flags can either be set in a config file (/etc/ipa/default.conf or 
~/.ipa/default.con) or via a command line argument.

If you haven't passed the verbose flag to the command then it must be 
set in one of the config files.

Petr Viktorin <pviktori at redhat.com> recently cleaned up how messages are 
managed in the command line tools (I don't think this has made it out 
into a public release yet). So there may be changes coming you'll want 
to be aware of, perhaps Petr might fill us in on what's different.

I think we had some client tools that forced verbose to be enabled when 
it should have respected a command line option and/or config option. I 
think that's some of what Petr fixed.
