Yes, but we have lots of similar messages in other places.  A search
for a call to 'message' that displays "SOMETHING...done" turns up more
than 270 hits.  Why is this particular package being singled out?

Also, what useful information does it conceal?  Can you show a use
case where this happens?

That should not be necessary, such explanations should be in comments
and commit log messages.
