 0.2.5.1-alpha when I start it with safelogging 0 and an info-level log
 says
 {{{
 Oct 01 21:02:26.050 [warn] Your log may contain sensitive information:
 you're logging more than "notice". Please log safely. Don't log unless it
 serves an important reason, and overwrite the log afterwards.
 Oct 01 21:02:26.050 [notice] Not disabling debugger attaching for
 unprivileged users.
 Oct 01 21:02:26.050 [warn] Your log may contain sensitive information -
 you disabled SafeLogging. Please log safely. Don't log unless it serves an
 important reason. Overwrite the log afterwards.
 }}}

 A) Is there any reason that first "may contain sensitive information" log
 is in options_act_reversible, and the second in options_act? I would think
 they should both be in options_act.

 B) I think we should make only one log line show up if they both would.
 I'd pick the second one.
