No, that's definitely the wrong place. First you'd have the same problem |
| 10 |
as currently as messages would be mixed with other stuff, also it's not |
| 11 |
guaranteed that you'll even be able to identify the package the message |
| 12 |
belongs to (parallel builds). And finally it has the potential to break |
| 13 |
several tools using that file for statistics or recovery purposes. |
