New branch: lp:~jameinel/bzr/2.5-verbosity-knob-812928

This adds a config item:
  bzr.plugins.launchpad.packaging_verbosity =

The possible values are:

off
  Displays nothing, and skips all checks.

minimal
  Only displays single-line messages when out-of-date, but never for
  missing or up-to-date

  1.0-1ubuntu1 is OUT-OF-DATE, Ubuntu Natty has 1.0-1ubuntu2

short
  Displays single-line messages for out-of-date, missing, and up-to-date

  1.0-1ubuntu1 is OUT-OF-DATE, Ubuntu Natty has 1.0-1ubuntu2

  Ubuntu Natty is MISSING a version

  1.0-1ubuntu2 is CURRENT in Ubuntu Natty

all (default)
  Displays multi-line messages for all 3 states

  Most recent Ubuntu Natty version: 1.0-1ubuntu2
  Packaging branch version: 1.0-1ubuntu1
  Packaging branch status: OUT-OF-DATE

  Most recent Ubuntu Natty version: MISSING

  Most recent Ubuntu Natty version: 1.0-1ubuntu2
  Packaging branch status: CURRENT

I'm putting it up for review now.
