Sorry, but I don't understand this yet.
What changes are you intending to make to the log messages?

Previously *all* messages got logged, but only as either CRIT or as DEBUG,
so the sysadmin had a choice of seeing all messages (including trival ones)
or only the most critical messages.

The new patch appears to drop some messages instead of logging them!

I'd prefer to see a patch that adds a middle category, taking some of
the DEBUG messages and logging them as ERR or WARN.
