Whenever a unit deactivates sucessfully we so far generated a message "unit xyz: succeeded". This is a bit confusing, since various unit types cannot really "succeed", e.g. a device unit can't really "suceed", not can a swap unit. In particular in the latter case people would probably assume that a swap unit that "suceeded" would actually mean a swap was active now, but the opposite is actually true. Let's improve this by saying "Deactivated successfully", which hopefully clears this up. (I thought about saying "terminated" or "completed" or "finished" or so instead, but that too doesn#t make sense if you think about unit types like swaps or devices.)
