   * bin/ip-address: don't color the whitespace
+  * bin/cpu-count: don't echo blank line in detailed status
+  * bin/updates-available: print "None" in detailed status, if no updates
+    are available
   * screen-profiles-status: ensure that all detail scripts get a chance
     to run
   * debian/copyright: there have *never* been icons in screen-profiles;
     remove the CC2.5 license statement, as this was erroneously copied over
     from another package for the initial packaging
+  * screen-profiles-status: color code and format the detailed status output
+  * screen-profiles-status-detail: use less -R to render ansi escaped
+    color formatting correctly; seed the search pattern with the header
+    for each section
