Nope, this was removed, apparently.  A pity, since this was very useful
information during boot time.  However, setting rc_debug will give you
enormous gobs of useless info (unless you're debugging rc scripts), and
rc_info doesn't seem to add much anymore, if anything.

To restore the old behaviour, apply the following patch (I have this in
my local repository for ages now):
