They don't match LogWatch's pattern matches. LogWatch parses your logs
and summarises their content. To do that it must recognise each line
and decide to ignore it or summarise it. Lines it doesn't recognise get
reported explicitly as above because it doesn't know how to treat them.
For safety it shows them to you.
