I reverted this a while back btw, as this actually made all tools check
for "quiet", not just the two PID 1 binaries. 

While "debug" is something that should have an effect to all systemd
binaries, "quiet" should not. It should only turn off output off things
that end up on the boot screen. Hence it is wrong to check for "quiet"
at the same place as "debug".

Note that the log level and target is explicitly passed to the shutdown
binary via the command line, hence I don't really understand why the
patch was needed in the first place? Ronny, can you elaborate?

thanks!

Lennart
