service --status-all reports some service status lines on stdout, others on stderr.

noticable and poblematic especially when piping to less/grep/etc.

presumably this is because it's calling multiple individual scripts each generating their own to inconsistent destinations.

workaround is to remember to 2>&1, but that is dumb; if the scripts can't be made consistent then perhaps at least service(8) can at least do this internally?

12.04 current dist-upgrade as of today
