Bug#809554: uscan: verbose is always enabled

[Osamu Aoki]

Hi,

I wish to keep code simple by having a simple verbosity level logic.

In 2.15.9, messages printed were not a simple hierarchy model.  Some
messages are turned off for higher verbosity.  In 2.5.10, verbosity
levels are 3 (no-verbose, verbose, debug) and simply add messages with
the higher verbosity.

For non-dehs mode of 2.15.9 output:

> | Newest version on remote site is 1.7.1, local version is 1.6.2

This was always printed if (verbose or no-download)

This was always printed *only* if uscan is not in verbose mode.

In verbose mode, it printed shorter message in corresponding code zone
since updated package names and their new URLs are printed elsewhere.
This is a bit odd situation.

Your concern is very valid.

I agree that it should be in a style where you can easy to check many
watch files for updated package names and their new URLs.

We can do this without changing verbosety behavior for no-download
cases. Printed texts does not need to be the identical one to 2.15.9
