I was playing with 8.2 RPM init script and thought that instead of
directing the output to /dev/null, it would be better to use a command
line option for that. Also, we are designing a new installer project and
--quiet might help us.

I would rise this idea in -hackers before providing a patch, but since
this is my first patch, I thought it would be a good exercise for me.
