- * The recovery field is only written by linux and used
- * for the system to send a message to recovery or the
- * other way around.

- * The stage field is written by packages which restart themselves
- * multiple times, so that the UI can reflect which invocation of the
- * package it is.  If the value is of the format "#/#" (eg, "1/3"),
- * the UI will add a simple indicator of that status.

+ * The stage field is written by packages which restart themselves
+ * multiple times, so that the UI can reflect which invocation of the
+ * package it is.  If the value is of the format "#/#" (eg, "1/3"),
