For pkgutil in particular, the change is that instead of writing to stderr (which can scroll off and get lost), it will write to the errorlog. In a truly default setup, that still ends up writing to stderr.

This might be better addressed by providing a centralised way of redirecting stdout and/or stderr through the logging module. That would fix the problem for all modules, even if they know nothing about logging.
